Cardinals Lose to Mets, 5-2
The New York Mets racked up a win at Busch Stadium, bumping off the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-2. Lance Lynn, who started for New York, pitched effectively for his team. The save went to Corey Knebel, his 3rd this season. The Cardinals fall to 9-16 and continue their unimpressive start to the 2018 season.

New York used the timely hitting of Ian Happ to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Mets on top, 4-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I just trusted my stuff," said Lynn.
