The White Sox avoided getting swept in the
three-game series, although they won for just the fifth time in
their last 15 games.
Left-hander Jose Quintana (0-1) lost in his season debut for the
Mets after undergoing bone graft surgery on a left rib in March.
He gave up two runs in five innings, allowing six hits but no
walks and fanning three.
The Mets' three-game winning streak came to an end, though they
have won nine of their last 14.
New York was within 2-1 until the sixth when Chicago capitalized
on an error with reliever Drew Smith taking over.
Luis Robert Jr. reached when first baseman Pete Alonso misplayed
his grounder. Robert stole second and went to third on Eloy
Jimenez's single. After a walk loaded the bases, Grandal's
double made it 4-1.
Another run scored on a sacrifice fly, and Andrus ripped a
triple to right-center for a 6-1 lead. In 2/3 of an inning,
Smith was charged with four runs (one earned) on three hits and
a walk.
The Mets trailed 2-0 until Narvaez blasted his first homer of
the season in the fifth.
The White Sox scored quickly against Quintana, getting three
straight singles, the last by Jimenez, to produce a run in the
first. In the second, Zach Remillard doubled and scored on
Andrus' sacrifice fly.
The Mets' outfield took a double-hit. The team placed Starling
Marte (migraines) on the injured list. Then, left fielder Tommy
Pham exited with an apparent left leg issue after running out a
double-play groundout in the third.
Alonso singled home a run in the eighth. It was just his second
RBI in his last 10 games.
