DOUBLEHEADER

First Game

Mets 3 – Cards 1

Intermittent Fast

Sunday was a feast
today’s menu much leaner
little on the plate

Workmanlike

Mikolas not sharp
still keeps his team in the game
but to no avail

HiLo Lights

Goldy homers late
O’Neil whiffs three out of four
Nolan oh for four

Record: 19 – 16
(2nd place, 3.5 games behind)

Second Game

Cards 4 – Mets 3

Much Better

good Matz reappears
goes five, surrenders three hits
though two were long balls

One-Two Punch

Goldy drives in two
Edman’s triple scores Knizner
Goldschmidt on fire

Vet Bails Out Rookie

Pallante shaky
leaves bases loaded, one out
Cabrera strands ‘em

Only So Far...

how much rope is left
O’Neil continues struggles
racks up six strike outs
 

Victimizes Helsley

Card defense wobbles
dropped foul, passed ball give Mets life
ground ball hit ties it

Redemption

O’Neil did not fan!
Tyler beats out infield hit
drives in winning run

Nail Biter

Gallegos gets save
with drama-filled ninth inning
whiffs two with two on

Record: 20 – 16
(2nd place, 2.5 games behind)

May 18, 2022

Mets 11 – Cards 4

Lasts Only Four

Jordan lacks command
ends up with more balls than strikes
yet yields just two runs

Tied After Two

Cards get to Scherzer
bunch three hits and an error
Pujols drives in pair

Blowout

Redbirds score two twice
Mets answer with four and five
never a contest

Among The Best

Albert singles twice
now tenth on career hit list
needs six for ninth place

Record: 20 – 17
(2nd place, 3.5 games behind)
