CHICAGO —If the lofty expectations were weighing on Anthony Rizzo, he sure
didnt show it in his Cubs debut. Justin Bannan Jersey . Rizzo had two hits and
drove in the go-ahead run in his first game with Chicago, which rallied for a
5-3 victory over the sliding New York Mets on Tuesday night. “Thats how I play
the game, really relaxed,” Rizzo said. “Everybody always tells me it looks like
Im not even trying. I like hearing that a lot.” Rizzo doubled home
Steve Clevenger with two out in the fourth, making it 4-3 and sending the Mets
to their fourth straight loss—matching a season high. “He didnt act like much
of a kid tonight, thats for sure,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. “That was
pretty impressive.” Rizzo was called up earlier in the day for his highly
anticipated Cubs debut. He reached on an infield single in the first when his
smash eluded shortstop Ruben Tejada and bounced to first in the third, advancing
two runners and sparking Chicagos three-run rally. Add in a flawless performance
in the field and it was pretty close to an ideal opening act. “Those are the
little things that go unnoticed in baseball that youve got to do to win day in,
day out,” Rizzo said. “Its just playing baseball.” The touted Rizzo hit .342
with 23 homers and 62 RBIs at Triple-A Iowa. He made his big league debut last
season for San Diego, hitting .141 in 49 games before being traded to Chicago
over the winter. Dillon Gee (5-6) struck out six in five innings for the Mets,
but gave up four runs and nine hits. The right-hander is 1-3 with a 3.69 ERA in
his last six starts. “It just seemed like everything they hit was getting
through somewhere,” Gee said. “I wasnt able to settle down and find that
rhythm.” New Yorks David Wright went 0 for 3 with a walk and a sacrifice fly,
ending his hitting streak at 15 games. It was the longest active streak in the
majors. “We didnt run the bases, we didnt play good defence, we didnt drive in
runs we need to drive in,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. ””We didnt pitch
very good. Its the worst Dillons pitched in a while, nothing was working. He
battled through it, got us five innings.” Luis Valbuena, Darwin Barney,
Clevenger and David DeJesus joined Rizzo with two hits apiece for the Cubs, who
finished with 12 hits overall. Valbuena doubled home a run and Barney had a
run-scoring single as the Cubs overcame another poor outing by starter
Randy Wells. Wells, subbing for injured right-hander Ryan Dempster in the
rotation, lasted just three-plus innings. He was charged with three runs and six
hits with four walks. “Same old story, walking the pitcher,” Sveum said. “Those
kinds of things arent acceptable.” Four relievers combined to shut out the Mets
over the final five innings. Scott Maine (1-1) threw two scoreless innings for
his first big league victory. “I just tried to keep it close and was able to,
came out the next inning and did the same thing,” Maine said. “The guys after me
tried to keep it close as possible and everybody did their job tonight.”
Carlos Marmol worked around a leadoff walk and finished for his fifth save of
the season. He became the fourth Cubs pitcher to record 100 career saves.
Josh Thole had two hits and drove in a run for the Mets, who stranded 12
runners, leaving at least one man on base in every inning except the first, and
Kirk Nieuwenhuis was caught stealing in that inning. The Mets established an
early two-run lead with four straight two-out singles in the second. Thole and
Gee each drove in a run. Chicago rallied with three runs in the third, aided by
a pair of walks. NOTES: Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said while the club is
still gathering information, his “initial understanding” is CF Marlon Byrds
50-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs will not affect the amount of
money the club is responsible for on Byrds contract. Chicago traded Byrd to the
Red Sox on April 21. ... Collins said there is still no timetable for the return
of OF Jason Bay (concussion). Collins said a return before the All-Star break is
conceivable, but optimistic. ... Mets 1B Ike Davis was ejected in the eighth by
first base umpire Manny Gonzalez after arguing a safe call on a pickoff attempt.
