NY Post: Mets bullpen coughs up Matt Harvey gem as skid hits three. "The Mets right-hander departed Wrigley Field with zip, zilch and nada, victimized by his anemic lineup and a bullpen meltdown. After Carlos Torres (L,1-2) allowed a run in the eighth and loaded the bases in the ninth, Jeurys Familia walked Chris Coghlan to force home the winning run in the Mets’ 2-1 loss to the Cubs...Over 100 pitches, Harvey allowed three hits and struck out nine with two walks [7 innings] . In his four starts this season following a Mets loss, he owns a 0.63 ERA."

ESPN.com: Cubs walk off with win over Mets. “Torres gave up back-to-back hits to Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro to start the ninth inning before intentionally walking Miguel Montero. Mets manager Terry Collins brought in closer Jeurys Familia with the bases loaded. After striking out Jorge Soler, Familia walked Coghlan to give the Cubs the win.”

The loss shrunk the Mets lead to just 1.5 games over the Nationals who beat the Diamondbacks 9-6.
