Torres gave up back-to-back hits to Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro to start the ninth inning before intentionally walking Miguel Montero. After Mets manager brought in Jeurys Familia with the bases loaded and no one out, Coghlan drew a walk to give the Cubs the win.Hector Rondon (2-0) earned the win for the Cubs after pitching a scoreless ninth.Torres surrendered a game-tying RBI single to Dexter Fowler in the eighth, allowing the Cubs to draw even after being held in check by Harvey.Cubs starter Jason Hammel allowed only two hits until the fifth inning when the Mets broke a scoreless tie.A single by Curtis Granderson and a Daniel Murphy double in the sixth inning gave the Mets runners on second and third with nobody out. Michael Cuddyer grounded out to score Granderson before Hammel pitched out of trouble to limit the damage to one run.
