Brandon Nimmo hit his first major league home run, took his first curtain call and made a diving catch, all in the span of a few minutes. The 23-year-old rookie's three-run homer in the fourth inning was one of five home runs by the New York Mets off Jason Hammel in a 10-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night that ended Jacob deGrom's 10-start winless streak. James Loney and Asbrubal Cabrera hit consecutive homers in the second inning, just before a 68-minute rain delay, and Cabrera hit a two-run drive in the fifth, shortly after Yoenis Cespedes' solo shot.
