The Mets (12-5) will make their way to St. Louis to finish off their road trip with three against the NL Central-leading Cardinals (9-5). The Mets lost five of seven to the Cardinals last season, though both of those victories came at Busch Stadium.
The Mets almost let one get away on Friday but rebounded to win 6-5 in extra innings. David Peterson turned in a terrific outing, with 5.2 innings of one-run ball. Meanwhile, New York jumped to a four-run lead, with James McCann’s career-long 452 ft home run serving as the exclamation mark.
