The Mets and Cardinals played two low-scoring affairs in Flushing.
GAME 1
You would forgive most Mets fans for assuming they were punting Game 1 of today’s doubleheader. With Trevor Williams on the mound against Cardinals ace Miles Mikolas, whose 1.49 ERA was third among NL starting pitchers at the start of play today, plus with some of the bench players in the lineup, it seemed the team was keen to put their focus on the nightcap. And yet, Williams gave the team an impressive outing in place of the injured Tylor Megill, and the offense did just enough against Mikolas to give the Mets a 3-1 victory in the first game.
