Pete Alonso, New York Mets sweep lowly Cubs with 4-3 victory

Eduardo Escobar yelled as he pounded on his chest in celebration, and then brought Pete Alonso in for a quick hug. Alonso was hit by a bases-loaded pitch from Mychal Givens in the 10th inning, and the Mets beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Saturday night for a doubleheader sweep. Led by Alonso and Escobar, New York (58-34) stretched its win streak to four in a row and moved 24 games over .500 for the first time since it was 92-58 on Sept. 19, 2006.
