AP Sports/ESPN.com: "The Cubs beat the Mets for a team-record ninth time in a row, and finished 7-0 against them this season. Chicago outscored New York 9-1 in this series at Citi Field...Arrieta (8-5) pitched eight sharp innings, helping extend the Cubs' shutout string to 25 innings before the Mets managed their only run of this set...Jacob deGrom (8-6) doubled and scored for the Mets, who have totaled a mere 23 runs in 14 games. DeGrom delivered another hard hit, too. The righty exited after Herrera's two-run homer in the sixth inning, then punched a Gatorade cooler in the dugout with his pitching hand."

Braves beat the Nationals 2-1, as the Mets stay 3.5 games back in 2nd place.
