Mets, Cardinals looking to settle score in four-game series

The Mets (23-13) conclude their homestand with a four-game set against the Cardinals (19-15). Things got heated the last time these two teams faced off, with benches clearing at one point in the matinee finale after Yoan Lopez threw up and in to Nolan Arenado following a J.D. Davis hit by pitch. The Mets escaped with two victories in that series against St. Louis.

The Mets lost their first series of the year against the Mariners over the weekend. On Friday, the Mets fell 2-1 in the series opener. They scored a run off the struggling Marco Gonzales in the first, and it looked like the offense would be off to the races.
