New York Drops Chicago, 5-2
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs.

Jeff Hestermann led New York to a win over Chicago. The final score was 5-2. The second baseman collected 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Dave Baldwin went 8 innings for New York to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs. He scattered 10 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 4. His record improves to 3-0. Kerry Moreno earned the save for New York, his 1st of the year.

New York used the bat of Chris Sims to capture the win. The catcher jacked a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Mets ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a dandy.

"It's a long season," said Sims. "We'll keep working to improve."

The victory puts New York at 11-22.
