The New York Mets squandered an early two-run lead, ultimately losing 5-4 to the St. Louis Cardinals in the second game of a doubleheader, marking their second consecutive one-run loss in the series. Tylor Megill struggled through five innings, allowing four runs while the Mets failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities, ending 3-for-11 with runners in scoring position and leaving nine on base. Starling Marte and Pete Alonso contributed offensively, but Cardinals reliever Michael McGreevy’s 5.2 scoreless innings sealed the game for St. Louis as the Mets head to Arizona for their next series.
