ST. LOUIS — It’s Noah and Jake, then jump in a lake.
The Mets have two horses atop their rotation in Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom, but good luck trying to say with any confidence that there is anything behind them.
Steven Matz was brutal Wednesday night, just 24 hours after Zack Wheeler endured his own turmoil against the Cardinals. And this time the Mets were buried too deep for a comeback in a 9-1 loss at Busch Stadium.
Matz was finished after 3 ¹/u2083 innings in which he allowed seven runs — four of which were unearned — on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts.
