Good morning, Mets fans!
The Mets had a rough night, as they got demolished by the Cardinals 7-0. Freddy Peralta struggled, allowing six runs on six hits over six innings. St. Louis did most of the damage in the third, scoring four runs in the frame. Offensively, they couldn’t get much going, finishing with just five hits on the night. Francisco Alvarez did single in his return from the injured list, while A.J. Ewing was a bright spot, going 2-for-3 with a double.
On Wednesday, the Mets will try to bounce back from their loss. The Mets announced that Austin Warren (1-2, 2.01 ERA) will start Wednesday, with Christian Scott (2-0, 2.50 ERA) on Thursday.
The Mets are set to face Cardinals righty Andre Pallante (6-4, 3.96 ERA). The game will kick off at 7:10 p.m. ET and air on SNY.
