The New York Mets suffered their 11th consecutive loss Sunday, falling 2-1 to the Chicago Cubs in 10 innings at Wrigley Field. Nico Hoerner delivered the game-winning sacrifice fly off Craig Kimbrel in the 10th, capping Chicago's season-high fifth straight victory. The Mets' losing streak matches their longest since dropping 11 straight from late August to early September 2004.

Chicago rallied in the ninth when pinch-hitter Michael Conforto, facing his former team, doubled home Ian Happ to tie the game 1-1. MJ Melendez homered for New York in the fifth, his first since being recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday. The Mets have been outscored 62-19 during the slide and are averaging just 2.9 runs over 17 April games.

Caleb Thielbar earned the win with a scoreless 10th inning for Chicago. David Peterson provided 3 2/3 scoreless innings of bulk relief after manager Carlos Mendoza used Tobias Myers as an opener. The Mets, who had at least one baserunner in each of the first seven innings, are off Monday before beginning a nine-game homestand against the Minnesota Twins.
