Daniel Murphy popped a pair of solo home runs and Scott Hairston blasted a grand slam as the Mets scored 16 unanswered runs en route to a 17-1 lopsided victory over the Cubs. Ike Davis added a three-run shot and David Wright knocked in five runs for New York, which salvaged the finale of a three-game set at Wrigley Field to snap a four-game slide. Jon Niese threw seven innings of one-run ball for the win. Luis Valbuena's RBI double in the second accounted for Chicago's lone run. Jeff Samardzija gave up nine runs in four-and-a-third frames to take the loss.
