Edwin Diaz was ejected from Sunday's Mets-Cubs game after the umpiring crew checked him for sticky stuff before he threw a pitch in the ninth inning.
Luis Severino tossed six shutout innings, Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo hit back-to-back homers and the New York Mets topped the Chicago Cubs 5-2 on Sunday night after closer Edwin Díaz was ejected in the ninth before throwing a pitch. Díaz came on to try to seal the victory, but was tossed for having a foreign substance after umpires inspected his hands and glove. Díaz faces a 10-game suspension as the result of Sunday's ejection.
Drew Smith got two outs in place of Díaz before Jake Diekman struck out pinch-hitter Patrick Wisdom for his third save for the Mets, who have won four straight series. Severino struck out a season-high 10 and allowed three hits for New York, which has won 10 of 13 and improved to 13-6 in June. Mark Vientos added a solo homer for the Mets. Christopher Morel homered for Chicago, which has dropped 10 of its last 16.
