ST. LOUIS — Does anybody know when the All-Star break ends for the Mets?
Noah Syndergaard was accounted for Friday night, but little evidence surfaced to suggest his teammates returned from their four-day vacation. Where was everybody?
With their lineup flatter than Budweiser left open on the counter for a week, the Mets lost 3-2 to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium and had their four-game winning streak snapped.
The Mets, who hit nine homers in their three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks last weekend at Citi Field, received a blast from Curtis Granderson leading off the game and then disappeared until the ninth, when they scored once and put the tying run at third base.
