Houser gave up five hits and a walk in the first inning, which the Cardinals turned into four runs. The visitors tacked on another run in the third inning and they chased Houser from the game in the fifth, making it a 6-0 game.
Just like Friday, the Mets battled back, scoring four runs in the fifth inning with Brandon Nimmo and Pete Alonso contributing. But the Cardinals added an insurance run in the eighth inning to secure the win.
The Mets starters have struggled, allowing 10 ER in 10 IP over two games, while the bullpen has been more effective, giving up only 1 ER in 8 IP. The hope is for better performance in the upcoming games.
