Cubs Handed 3-1 Loss by New York
The New York Mets and Chicago Cubs played a tight game with the hosts claiming a hard-fought win.

The New York Mets locked up a win at Shea Stadium 1979-2008, knocking off the Chicago Cubs, 3-1. On the mound for New York was left-hander Derek Holland. He played a major role in the triumph. The winner was Holland. He threw 6.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The loser was Henderson Alvarez III. Craig Kimbrel earned his 17th save in 18 tries.

The game was on the line with two out in the top of the seventh inning, but Max Scherzer didn't flinch. With the bases loaded and Chicago trailing 3-1, Scherzer retired Dustin Ackley to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Scherzer, with a wink.

After today's action, New York sits at 52-73; Chicago slips to 71-54.
