NEW YORK — Jake Arrieta was pounced on for three quick runs, rookie right-hander Noah Syndergaard gave his team its second strong start in as many nights and the New York Mets cruised to a 4-1 victory over the Cubs Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in the National League Championship Series.
The best-of-seven series shifts to Chicago Tuesday after an off day Monday. Kyle Hendricks will start for the Cubs against Mets ace Jacob deGrom.
Arrieta had a rare bad first inning, allowing a single, double and home run to the first three batters he faced. Red-hot Met Daniel Murphy hit the homer after Curtis Granderson singled and David Wright scored him with a double over center fielder Dexter Fowler’s head to get things rolling for the Mets.
“I put us in a pretty big hole there at the start, one that was a little too hard to overcome, ” Arrieta said.
“The three run inning held up pretty well for them throughout the entire game, ” manager Joe Maddon said.
“Even after that Jake wasn’t as sharp as he can be, but he definitely held serve. But the ambush early got us, and then you’ve got to give a lot of credit to their young pitcher; Syndergaard really was very good today, also.”
New York added a fourth run in the third on an infield RBI single by Yoenis Cespedes scoring Granderson — who stole second and third base.
The Cubs, who were held to five hits, scored their run against Syndergaard on Kris Bryant’s double off the left field wall with two outs in the sixth, scoring Fowler (single) from second. Syndergaard struck out nine Cubs over 5 2/3 innings, allowing one run on three hits and a walk. Four relievers, including former White Sox closer Addison Reed and Mets closer Jeurys Familia (second save of the series), held the Cubs scoreless over the final 3 2/3 innings.
Arrieta, who retired the last eight batters he faced, settled in and pitched well after the first three hitters but the damage was done, and he was lifted for pinch hitter Tommy LaStella in the sixth inning trailing 4-0. Arrieta’s pitching line: 5 innings, 4 hits, 4 runs (earned), two walks, eight strikeouts.
Murphy, who launched a foul ball into the top deck in right field before connecting on a low pitch for the homer, also went deep in Game 1, a 4-2 Mets victory. He has five postseason homers and has homered in four straight playoff games.
After Murphy connected, Arrieta retired the next six batters, including four on strikeouts, before Granderson led off the third with a walk. Arrieta pitched a perfect fourth and perfect fifth. Arrieta threw 94 pitches, 52 for strikes.
