Mets Top Cubs Behind Flaherty, 5-0
The first-place New York Mets took on the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field.

New York Mets starter Jack Flaherty was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Chicago Cubs, 5-0. New York goes to 79-52. The win puts them 3½ games up in their division.

Flaherty, a native of Burbank (Los Angeles County), California, was dealing all game. He kept Chicago hitters off-balance, while giving the Mets 8 quality innings. Flaherty threw 99 pitches, allowing 1 hit and striking out 11.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Flaherty told the New York Chronicle.
