The Mets, as they have done so often this season, made another valiant comeback late in this game. Much like on Sunday, they were unable to come away with a victory, and they had to settle for a doubleheader split as they fell 4-3 to the Cardinals.
The Mets got solo homers from Mark Canha and from Eduardo Escobar in the first and the fourth, respectively, off old friend Steven Matz, who was otherwise solid as he limited his former club to three hits. Taijuan Walker was great through the first three innings but faltered as he allowed a run in the fourth and two more in the fifth.
