NEW YORK — The St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets are both near “round number” statistical achievements neither team really wanted to be associated with by July 19.
But at least the Cardinals can measure some progress by looking at their record.
The Cardinals will look to move to .500 for the first time in more than six weeks Wednesday night when they face the Mets in the third contest of a four-game series at Citi Field.
St. Louis’ Mike Leake (6-7, 3.14 ERA) is scheduled to oppose the Mets’ Jacob deGrom (10-3, 3.48) in a battle of right-handers.
