Mets Roll Over Cubs, 10-3
The New York Mets beat the Chicago Cubs, 10-3, at Wrigley Field. New York shortstop Jonathan Villar earned player of the game honors with an outstanding performance. He went 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The Mets saw their record improve to 60-71.

New York used the bat of Ian Happ to get the win. The center fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Mets ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Nervous? No," said Villar. "It was my time to shine."
