Cubs, after dramatic win, chase series victory over Mets

It didn't take the Chicago defense long to redeem itself. Ben Brown (0-1, 4.30 ERA) is slated to start for the Cubs against fellow right-hander Adrian Houser (0-3, 8.37 ERA). With one out in the ninth, Chicago closer Hector Neris plunked Pete Alonso, after which J.D. Martinez doubled off the glove of Pete Crow-Armstrong in deep right-center field.
