Mets blanked by Cubs
Misch records save
Wednesday, July 27, 2011

FLUSHING, NY - The Chicago Cubs pitching staff held the Mets to no runs on just four hits tonight, spoiling an impressive performance from hurler Hayden Penn.
Penn have up two runs on seven hits and no walks, striking out three, over seven 7 1/3 innings of work but was hit with the loss.
Cubs hurler Zach Segovia improved to 10-4 with a gem of his own, throwing 7 shutout innings in which he let up four hits and one walk with six strikeouts. Relievers Luis Ayala and Francisco Cordero combined on a scoreless eighth inning before handing it over to new closer Patrick Misch, who pitched a scoreless ninth inning to record his 10th save of the year, first with the Cubs.
"It's nice to get that first one under my belt and start off my Cubs career on a positive note," Misch said after the game. "It feels really good."
Chicago shortstop Vicente Gutierrez led the Cubs offense, going 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a run and two RBI.
Mets leadoff hitter Brendon Auchinleck was the only other player on either team to collect two hits in the contest.
