Francisco Lindor hit a go-ahead homer to start a four-run eighth inning and the New York Mets beat the Chicago Cubs 6-2 to avoid losing their second home series this season.

After working a 3-1 count, Lindor saw a hanging sweeper and capitalized on it, driving it deep into the Mets’ bullpen to give New York a 3-2 lead. Crossing home plate, Lindor was demonstrative, pounding his chest and shouting into his dugout, drawing pumped reactions from his teammates.

The Chicago Cubs (22-17) are on the road on Saturday to face the New York Mets (25-14) in the second game of a three-game series at Citi Field.

Cade Horton has been performing lately like a pitcher with little left to prove with Triple-A Iowa. With the Major League staff now facing a sudden need, the Cubs will give their top pitching prospect his first test on the big league stage.

Cade Horton knew pretty quickly something was up. Triple-A Iowa pitching coach Tony Cougoule summoned Horton from his Toledo, Ohio, hotel room to head up to manager Marty Pevey’s room because he had been named the league’s pitcher of the month.

Cade Horton is slated to make his long-awaited MLB debut for the Chicago Cubs sometime in Saturday's game against the New York Mets. He won't be starting like most Cubs fans expected, but he is likely going to pitch at some point.
