CHICAGO — J.D. Martinez, Francisco Alvarez and Brandon Nimmo homered against Shota Imanaga, and the New York Mets routed the Chicago Cubs 11-1 on Friday.
Francisco Lindor had three hits and scored twice as New York won for the eighth time in nine games. Jose Iglesias went 4 for 5 with 3 RBI.
“This is the kind of potential this lineup has,” Martinez said.
The Mets also improved to 12-3 in their last 15 games. They are averaging 6.6 runs and 10.3 hits during the stretch.
“The guys are doing a pretty good job turning the page and preparing for the next game,” Iglesias said.
New York became the first team to get a second look at Imanaga (7-2) during his impressive transition to the major leagues, and it tagged the Japanese left-hander for 10 runs and 11 hits in three-plus innings.
