The Mets are fresh off a 6-0 shutout win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. It was a make-up game due to rain earlier in the season, and it snapped the Mets’ two-game road losing streak against the Angels over the weekend.
Pete Alonso got the scoring started for the Mets thanks to a wild pitch from Andre Pallante. Harrison Bader slapped an RBI double, and even earned a standing ovation from the crowd in St. Louis, who remembered his time with the Cardinals after being selected in the third round of the 2015 draft and playing parts of six seasons in St. Louis. But it was Tyrone Taylor’s bases-clearing double that put the Mets up 5-0 at the top of the fifth inning.
New York stays on the road until August 13 for series against Colorado and Seattle. The Mets played three games against the Rockies ahead of the All-Star break last month, winning the series 2-1. Colorado is 41-72, and dead last in the NL West after a 10-2 loss to the Padres on Sunday.
