NEW YORK — Right-hander Jameson Taillon had his best outing of the season and found himself in a pitchers’ duel with Mets right-hander Luis Severino. When it was over, both pitchers received a no-decision and the Cubs won the game, 3-1, at Citi Field on Monday night.
The game was tied at 1 in the ninth when Chicago took the lead against Mets closer Edwin Díaz. With a runner on second and two outs, Christopher Morel sent a 3-1 pitch over the left-field wall for a monster homer to give the Cubs their 18th victory of the season.
