A Tough Day at Citi Field for the Cubs
Well folks, tonight wasn’t quite the night we were hoping for. Our beloved Chicago Cubs took on the New York Mets, and unfortunately, we fell short in this battle with a final score of 2-7.
It seemed like we couldn’t quite find our rhythm the way the guys from the Big Apple did. But, there were some bright spots amid the storm, as always. Let’s dive into the match-up. Some Early Home Runs by the Mets
The game kicked off with Francisco Lindor quickly giving the Mets an edge in the bottom of the 1st with a home run to right center. Then, Brett Baty and Jeff McNeil joined the party with homers of their own in the 2nd inning, putting our Cubs in a 0-3 hole early on. Our starters tried to fight back, but unfortunately, their bats had our pitching staff on the ropes for much of the game. In the 4th inning, Juan Soto extended the Mets’ lead with another home run.Cubs' Sparks of Hope
While the night was mostly dominated by the Mets, we had a few shining moments to cheer for!
In the top of the 4th, Kyle Tucker brought our spirits up with a beautiful homer to right center, reminding us of that fierce Cubs fighting spirit. Later in the 9th, Michael Busch sent one soaring 411 feet into the stands in the right center field, giving us another run on the board, and something to cheer about in an otherwise tough stretch. Not just that, but Pete Crow-Armstrong had a solid performance with a walk and a single to right! 
Final Thoughts
Despite the final score, it’s important to celebrate the resilience shown by our team today. The Mets might have claimed the victory, but let’s tip our hats to moments of brilliance from Tucker and Busch, not forgetting Crow-Armstrong's efforts in the 9th. Perseverance is key. Forward and onward to the next one, fellow Cubs enthusiasts! Go Cubs Go!
