The Chicago Cubs defeated the New York Mets 4-3 on June 25 at Citi Field in a low-scoring matchup that fell short of the 8.5-run Vegas total. The Mets managed nine hits with two home runs but converted just three runs, posting a .676 OPS while striking out eight times. Chicago's pitching staff dominated with 12 strikeouts against only two walks, though they allowed nine hits and three earned runs across the game. The Cubs prevailed despite recording just six hits and no home runs, relying on four RBIs to overcome a Mets team that committed two errors. Both offenses struggled significantly—the Cubs struck out 12 times with a .243 average, while New York's .231 batting average underscored the offensive drought on both sides. Chicago's pitching efficiency, particularly the strikeout rate, proved decisive in securing the road victory despite the Cubs' own offensive limitations. The result leaves the Mets searching for consistency in their run production heading into the next rotation cycle.
