Cardinals Blank Mets 3-0

0:00On April 1st, the St. Louis Cardinals blanked the New York Mets 3-0 on Tuesday night, thanks to some clutch hitting and airtight pitching. Ivan Herrera smashed a two-run double in the third inning to put the cards of early, and then Ramon Areas crushed his first homer with St. Louis over. The left-center wall in the seventh off Richard Love Lady's second pitch. Andre Palante got the win in his first start, going five plus innings with just three hits, three walks and three strikeouts. He handed it off to Gordon Graceful after a double and a walk to open the sixth, but Graceful escaped with a flyout and a slick double play. The bullpen locked it down from there. Ryan Stannick and Jojo Romero each tossed a scoreless frame, and Riley O'Brien nailed a perfect ninth for his. First save of the season. Rookie JJ Weatherhole chipped in two hits and scored a run, staying hot by reaching base in all five of his big league games so far. Over on the med side, Cody Senga looked sharp and defeat, giving up two runs on four hits over six innings while fanning nine and walking three.

1:03Juan Soto picked up a couple hits and extended his streak to reaching safely in all 40 career games against the Cardinals. That sets up a rubber match Wednesday with Freddie Peralta on the hill for New York against Matthew Libertor for St. Louis should be a good one too.
