NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Mets have a rich and proud history… of opponents who have crushed New York pitching over the years. Names like Willie Stargell, Chase Utley, and Chipper Jones come to mind when you say the phrase “Met killer.”
You can officially add the Cardinals’ Paul DeJong to that list.
DeJong tagged the Mets again, hitting a tie-breaking home run in the eighth inning that sent the St. Louis Cardinals over New York 4-3 on Sunday.
DeJong is 30-for-83 (.361) with nine homers and 10 doubles against the Mets in his career so far.
