KK took the mound for the Cards for the first of two 7-inning affairs today. Francisco Lindor led off the game by popping a low-and-in 2-2 slider to first base. After Pete Alonso reached out and lined an outside 1-1 slider to right for a base hit, Michael Conforto drew a 3-2 walk. But KK ended the threat by getting Kevin Pillar to pop an outside 1-1 change for Edman on the outfield grass behind the 2nd base bag, and Jeff McNeil to ground a first-pitch low slider to 2nd to end the inning. Marcus Stroman took the hill for the Mets and got Tommy Edman to ground a 2-1 low-and-in sinker to 2nd to lead off the frame.
