It’s a miracle these banged-up Mets are still in it

ST. LOUIS — Make room for these new Miracle Mets.

How else can you explain this? Because it’s kind of a miracle when they win, and by some miracle they are still in the wild-card hunt.

The Mets beat the Cardinals, 10-6, Thursday night at Busch Stadium to win two of three against St. Louis and move within 3 ¹/u2082 games of the Redbirds and the NL’s second wild card.

All this, despite another starting pitcher, Seth Lugo, who was filling in for the injured Steven Matz, having to leave the game early. Lugo exited after five scoreless innings with a calf cramp.
