Mets look to gain ground in playoff race as they face Cardinals

The Mets (72-72) continue their homestand as they face off for three games with the Cardinals (73-69). Earlier this season, New York and St. Louis split four games at Busch Stadium.

The Mets took two out of three from the Yankees in a thrilling conclusion to the 2021 Subway Series. The series kicked off with a highly entertaining 10-3 win on Friday night, as the Yankees played more like the Mets than their usual selves. The Yankees and Mets traded runs in the first, with Gary Sanchez’s horrific late tag of Jonathan Villar at home allowing the Mets to tie the game.
