Late Rally by Cubs Secures Win
The Chicago Cubs stopped the New York Mets, 4-2, at Citi Field. The Cubs got a big game from Yoan Moncada, who was 3 for 5 with 2 doubles. He drove in 4 runs. The win was credited to Fernando Abad in relief. His record improves to 2-4. Corey Knebel took the loss. Tony Cingrani converted his 25th save in 30 tries.

Moncada had a game-changing double in the top of the ninth. On a 0-1 slider from Giovanny Gallegos, he banged a bases-clearing double to center, giving the Cubs a 4-2 lead. It was the 16th double of the year for Moncada.

"It feels good to get this one," Moncada told the Chicago Daily.

After today's action, Chicago sits at 56-77, while New York falls to 79-54.
