The Mets had a bad day twice over in St. Louis, dropping the second game of their double header 5-4 in a game where they stranded ten men on base.
Tylor Megill started game two for the Mets, and ran into trouble fairly early. In the bottom of the second inning, Megill allowed a leadoff single to Nolan Arenado and, one out later, a two-run home run to Alec Burleson.
The Mets battled back in the top of the third against Cardinals’ starter Andre Pallante. The inning led off with singles by Tyrone Taylor and Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto pushed the runners over on a ground out.
