Cubs\u2019 10-3 victory in the opener<\/a>. The 11 RBIs in a doubleheader are a franchise record, breaking the mark of 10 set by Hall of Famer Ron Santo on July 6, 1970.<\/p>\nSwanson also homered on Tuesday night and has three home runs and 15 RBIs in the first three games of the series. The shortstop had just 14 RBIs in his previous 48 games entering Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Pedro Ram\u00edrez had two RBIs in the second game, while Carson Kelly, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Matt Shaw had an RBI apiece.<\/p>\n
Shota Imanaga (5-6) surrendered four runs over 5 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
The Mets, who got back Francisco Lindor from the injured list for the nightcap but played both games without Juan Soto (back), ran their losing streak to five games and fell a season-high 12 games under .500. New York was last 12 under on the final day of the 2023 season.<\/p>\n
The Mets committed six errors in the nightcap \u2014 two each by first baseman Mark Vientos and second baseman Marcus Semien and one by fellow infielders Lindor, Mark Vientos and Bo Bichette.<\/p>\n
Lindor finished 0 for 4.<\/p>\n
Catcher Francisco Alvarez hit one of the Mets\u2019 four home runs Wednesday night but punctuated his last at-bat, a strikeout in the eighth, by breaking his bat over his knee.<\/p>\n
Vientos, Bichette and A.J. Ewing also went deep.<\/p>\n
Brooks Raley (2-2) allowed two runs in the sixth.<\/p>\n
