Yan (1-1), known for his high-flying celebrations on the mound,
was charged with his first loss in his seventh major league
game.
Miguel Vargas, Randal Grichuk and Colson Montgomery hit
back-to-back-to-back homers for Chicago in the sixth. Grant
Taylor (5-2) got three outs for the win.
The AL Central leaders had dropped three of four.
Bo Bichette homered for New York, and Brett Baty had two hits
and two RBIs. Marcus Semien contributed a run-scoring single.
The last-place Mets had won five of six.
New York jumped to a 4-0 lead. Luis Robert Jr. was credited with
a double when Doyle misplayed his flyball to center in the
fourth, and Baty followed with a liner to right for a two-run
double. Bichette added a two-out solo drive in the fifth.
Sean Manaea pitched shutout ball for the Mets before running
into trouble in the sixth. With Munetaka Murakami aboard after a
one-out walk, Vargas hit a drive to left for his 29th homer.
Grichuk went deep for his 11th on the season, and Montgomery
tied it at 4 with his 27th of the year.
It was the second time this season that Chicago hit
back-to-back-to-back homers. Murakami, Vargas and Montgomery
also pulled off the feat in the second inning of an 11-5 win at
Arizona on April 21.
