RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Seth Jarvis scored midway through the third period to complete the Carolina Hurricanes' rally from an early two-goal deficit and force overtime against the Philadelphia Flyers in Monday night's second-round playoff game.

Carolina is chasing a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Jarvis took a feed from Nikolaj Ehlers as the trailer and beat Dan Vladar from the right side at the 11:21 mark to knot the score at 2-2. Ehlers had Carolina's first goal with a first-period one-timer and the Hurricanes on the power play.

Jamie Drysdale and Sean Couturier scored in a 39-second span of the first period for the Flyers, whose flurry in the opening 5 minutes put Carolina in its first deficit of the postseason.

Then Vladar spent the rest of regulation flirting with making that 2-0 margin hold up, including twice stopping breakaways by Eric Robinson. And Travis Sanheim came through to back up his goalie with a big second-period play, clearing a puck that had gotten loose behind the netminder in the crease to deny a potential tying goal.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mark Vientos hit two homers and drove in four runs and right-hander Clay Holmes allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings as the New York Mets beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-1 on Sunday.

Holmes (4-2) allowed four hits with three walks and six strikeouts as the Mets took two of three games from the Angels and won a series for just the second time since April 7. New York also won two of three against Minnesota (April 21-23).

The Mets used Bo Bichette at shortstop Sunday, one day after Ronny Mauricio fractured his left thumb and was placed on the injured list. Shortstop Francisco Lindor also is on the IL with a calf strain.

Jorge Soler had an RBI single for the Angels and right-hander Jack Kochanowicz (2-1) gave up two runs on five hits over 6 1/3 innings with three walks and six strikeouts. Los Angeles had ended a season-high seven-game losing streak Saturday. The Angels are 2-12 since April 18.

The Angels took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Zach Neto and Mike Trout worked walks to open the game against Holmes and Soler hit a one-out run-scoring single to center.

As Holmes settled in, the Mets grabbed a 2-1 lead in the fourth when Vientos hit a towering two-run homer 427 feet, halfway up the rock pile beyond the center field fence.

The Angels were in the game until the eighth inning when Tayler Saucedo hit Brett Baty with his first pitch of the inning and was replaced by Nick Sandlin. Carson Benge had an RBI double to right for a 3-1 lead and Vientos followed with another two-run home run, this time to left.

The Mets' outfield made a pair of spectacular plays, with left fielder MJ Melendez making a diving catch in the sixth inning and Benge making a diving catch in right for the second out of the ninth.

Up next

Mets: New York has not named a starter for their series opener in Colorado against RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (3-1, 2.84 ERA) on Monday.

Angels: RHP Jose Soriano (5-1, 0.84 ERA) will pitch in Monday’s series opener against White Sox RHP Davis Martin (4-1, 1.95 ERA).

CHICAGO (AP) — Michael Busch hit a three-run triple and a sacrifice fly, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-4 on Sunday for their fifth straight win.

Moisés Ballesteros homered as Chicago improved to 15-3 in its last 18 games. Matthew Boyd (2-1) pitched six innings of two-run ball.

At 22-12, the Cubs are a season-high 10 games over .500. They have won 11 straight home games for the first time since they won 14 in a row at Wrigley Field in 2008.

Gabriel Moreno and Adrian Del Castillo each hit two-run homers for Arizona in its fourth straight loss. Merrill Kelly (1-3) allowed six runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.

The Diamondbacks had a chance to get back in the game in the seventh, loading the bases with two down. But Ketel Marte struck out swinging against Phil Maton, ending the inning.

Ballesteros connected for a two-run shot in the third, and the NL Central-leading Cubs added three more in the fifth.

Ballesteros reached on a leadoff walk and Alex Bregman followed with a bouncer to third. Nolan Arenado tried to get Ballesteros at second, but he beat out the throw. Ian Happ then walked after he used ABS to overturn a called third strike.

One batter later, Busch chased Kelly with a liner into the corner in right. Busch's first triple of the season gave Chicago a 6-2 lead.

Carson Kelly had two hits and two RBIs for the Cubs, and Nico Hoerner went 2 for 5 in his return to the lineup after missing Saturday’s game because of tightness in his neck.

Up next

Diamondbacks: LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (2-0, 3.03 ERA) starts Tuesday night against Pittsburgh in the opener of a six-game homestand. RHP Bubba Chandler (1-3, 4.97 ERA) takes the mound for the Pirates.

Cubs: RHP Edward Cabrera (3-0, 3.06 ERA) starts Monday night against Cincinnati in the opener of a four-game series.
