Cubs Score Late, Stun Mets, 5-2
The 2049 season did not get off to quite the start the New York Mets had hoped, with an opening day loss to the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field. The final score was 5-2. Starting Pitcher Unkei Wakamatsu was the top performer for Chicago. Mike Alexander finished the game for Chicago and earned his 1st save.

Chicago used the clutch hitting of Xavier Davis to capture the win. The shortstop drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 5-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Davis said after the game.
