Believe it or not, the Mets won a game with ease this evening. Hosting the last-place Cardinals, the Mets jumped out to an early lead, held it, tacked on a run, and wound up winning 6-1.
The scoring started in the first, an inning that has plagued the Mets all season. Tylor Megill spun a scoreless top of the inning, and after loading the bases with nobody out in the bottom, the offense saw Francisco Lindor ground into a 1-2-3 double play. But with two outs and runners on second and third, Brett Baty doubled to plate a pair of runs.
