PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.--After allowing hits to the first three New York Mets he faced on Wednesday, Cardinals ace Jack Flaherty set down nine of the next 10 men to oppose him before the Mets added a run in the fourth to the two they tallied in the first.
The Mets led the exhibition match 3-0 after four with Austin Dean accounting for the only Cardinals hit with a second-inning double. And then he was picked off second by Mets starter Marcus Stroman.
