Steven Matz pitched well for the second outing in a row, Paul Goldschmidt is lighting the world on fire, and the Cardinals hung on for a tight win in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader.
A dropped third strike from Andrew Knizner extended the eighth inning and allowed the Mets to tie the game, but St.Louis scored the go-ahead run in the ninth inning on a Tyler O’Neill infield single. The Cardinals left 12 runners on base, but despite those missed opportunities were able to eek out a tight one.
Here’s how it went down:

Like game one, the only Cardinal who showed any sign of resistance early was Paul Goldschmidt.
