NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Cade Horton earned the win with four solid innings of relief in his major league debut, and the Chicago Cubs held off the New York Mets 6-5 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Cubs opener Brad Keller worked a perfect first inning before giving way to Horton, who was recalled from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day. The team’s top pitching prospect gave up three hits \u2014 including Brett Baty\u2019s three-run homer in the fourth \u2014 and struck out five.<\/p>\n
