The Cardinals took down the Mets, 5-4, in a very dramatic game with implications on the NL wild-card race in New York on Wednesday night. A Yoenis Cespedes home run put the Mets up 4-3 in the seventh, and then All-Star closer Jeurys Familia was summoned in the ninth inning. He had closed down 52 consecutive save chances.

This time around, the Cardinals got to him. Yadier Molina came through with the clutch double to tie things up and break the save streak, but the Cardinals didn't stop there.
