It took longer than the Mets wanted to, but they took the series finale with the Cardinals, 7-6 on a two-run, no doubter off the bat of Pete Alonso in the bottom of the tenth.
The game, which featured Chris Bassitt not having his best stuff, was a back and forth affair that showcased Jeff McNeil’s offensive and defensive skills. The Mets took an early lead 2-0 in the first, gave up one in the second, one in the third, and one in the fifth that put the Cardinals up 3-2. However, a three-run bottom of the fifth put the Mets back in front.
