120

Hey hey! The Cubs returned to Wrigley to down the Mets 7-2 on Tuesday behind a nice start from Smyly (5 IP, 2 ER, 5 K) and HRs from Suzuki, Mervis, and Morel.

Morel is on fire, now sporting a 1.384 OPS with homers in five consecutive games (and 9 of his 12 games this season).

Fulmer notched his first scoreless inning since May 13 to finish the game, and Leiter continued his dominance, striking out two in 1 1/3 innings of work and lowering his season ERA to 1.86.

The series continues Wednesday at the Friendly Confines.

Go Cubs go!
