Cubs 6, Mets 5

Dexter Fowler homered and scored the winning run in the seventh inning on a passed ball, and host Chicago rallied from a four-run deficit to sweep New York. Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Matt Szczur each had RBI hits as the Cubs recorded their first four-game sweep of the Mets since August 1992. Anthony Recker had a pair of solo home runs to pace the Mets, but the backup catcher’s failure to hold onto a slider from reliever Hansel Robles in the seventh allowed the go-ahead run to score.

Reds 4, Giants 3

Marlon Byrd hit a bases-loaded single and a tiebreaking solo homer in the eighth inning, leading visiting Cincinnati past San Francisco. The Reds have won 12 of their last 15 regular-season games against the Giants at Great American Ball Park. Byrd’s two-run single off struggling Tim Lincecum put Reds starter Johnny Cueto in position for a win. But Joe Panik tripled with one out and scored on Angel Pagan’s single off Tony Cingrani to tie it at 3.

Interleague

Cardinals 2, Indians 1

Matt Carpenter hit a two-run homer off reliever Marc Rzepczynski in the eighth inning after Cleveland replaced starter Trevor Bauer, rallying St. Louis to a road win. Bauer blanked St. Louis on four hits over 7 1/3 innings before giving up a one-out walk. Indians manager Terry Francona brought in the left-handed Rzepczynski to face Carpenter, a lefty, who had struck out in his three previous at-bats. Carpenter drove a 2-1 pitch over the wall in right-center.
