DeJong delivers quickly as Cardinals upend Mets 5-4 in suspended game

NEW YORK — The prediction in the clubhouse as the Cardinals took the field for a suspended game, starting with the bottom of the ninth inning, was that they could win the game "in 20 minutes."

Paul DeJong skipped an RBI single to left field to score Yairo Munoz and send the Cardinals to a 5-4 victory in the 10th inning of a game that had to be resumed from Thursday night. Rain had made the field inoperable during the ninth inning Thursday, and so the Cardinals' two-run rally in the top of the ninth only served to prolong the game -- all the way till Friday.
