Jeurys Familia’s magic ride as Mets closer finally hit a speed bump — a big red one. His bullpen mates made his rare misstep a moot point.
The flame-throwing right-hander finally coughed up a lead Monday night, blowing Matt Harvey’s gem, but the Cardinals managed just one hit against the rest of the home team’s bullpen as the Mets won their third straight, 2-1, in 14 innings on John Mayberry Jr.’s bases-loaded, infield single.
Carlos Torres, Alex Torres, Hansel Robles and Erik Goeddel allowed just a Jason Heyward double and struck out eight in five impressive frames, making up for Familia’s first blown save of the year.
