Cardinals Lose to Mets, 4-1
The New York Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-1, at Busch Stadium. New York shortstop Nick Ahmed earned player of the game honors with an outstanding performance. He went 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The save was credited to Corey Knebel, his 2nd. The Cardinals fall to 9-15 and continue their lackluster start to the 2018 season.

In the top of the seventh inning, pinch hitter Christian Vazquez came through big-time for the Mets. With New York leading 2-1, he belted a 2-run home run.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Ahmed told the New York Citizen.
