ST. LOUIS -- Brandon Nimmo hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning that sent the New York Mets to a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.
Sean Manaea (2-1) pitched six effective innings and Edwin Díaz rebounded from a blown save Sunday as the Mets bounced back from a weekend sweep at Tampa Bay.
Iván Herrera had a two-run double for the Cardinals, who have lost five of six.
Díaz worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his fifth save in six opportunities. The star closer gave up Randy Arozarena's tying solo homer on a full-count pitch with two outs in the ninth inning Sunday, and the Rays went on to win 7-6 in 10 innings.
