Good morning, Mets fans!
The Mets defeated the Cardinals 6-1 on Friday night, giving them consecutive wins for the first time in June. The Mets entered the game with a 3-9 record during the month, struggling mightily and failing to gain any sort of momentum. Now with two straight wins and two more games against the reeling Cardinals on deck, the Mets have a chance to get back on track.
During the Mets victory, Tylor Megill pitched six excellent innings, giving up one earned run. Additionally, Daniel Vogelbach homered for the first time since May 7 as he looks to turn his season around.
