Mets Outlast Cardinals in Exciting Win

0:00On March 31st, the New York Metz grabbed a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night at Bush Stadium, keeping their momentum. Rolling early in the season, Boba's shirt was the spark, picking up a hit and driving in two key runs to leave the charge. Clay Holmes earned the win in his first start, going five and two-thirds innings while allowing just two runs on four hits, three walks, and five. Strikeouts Devin Williams, a local St. Louis kid, slammed the door with a clean 1-2-3-9 for his first save of the year. Metz hitters like Carson Benj and Jorge Polanco each notch two hits, pounding out 10 total, believing 11 runners on base. For the cards, Alec Burleson raised his average to 400 with two hits and an RBI, while Nolan Gorman crushed a solo homer. The Metz built their lead with a run in the first on Francisco Lindor's triple, and Bashet's ground out, added one in the fifth on Bashet's single, then tacked on two more in the sixth to Chase Starter, Kyle Leehee after he surrendered four runs in six innings.
