Peterson tagged early, Mets fall to Cubs 6-3 and get swept
David Peterson got only one out and the slumping New York Mets fell behind early Wednesday night in a 6-3 loss that completed a three-game sweep by the Chicago Cubs. The NL East leaders lost their fifth consecutive home game and dropped to 5-7 in a 16-game stretch against Washington, Pittsburgh, Miami and Chicago — all more than 20 games under .500 this season. “It doesn’t matter who’s on the other side,” New York shortstop Francisco Lindor said.
