NEW YORK (AP) — Sonny Gray extended his terrific start with St. Louis, Paul Goldschmidt hit an early two-run double and the Cardinals beat the New York Mets 7-4 on Saturday for their first three-game win streak this season.
“It’s starting to come together and they’re throwing together and stringing together some really quality at-bats,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said.
Ryan Helsley retired Francisco Lindor on a bases-loaded popup for the final out. Lindor struck out his previous four times up.
Nolan Arenado and rookie Masyn Winn each had an RBI single during a four-run first against struggling Mets newcomer Adrian Houser. Nolan Gorman added an RBI double in the third.
“You win a game last night and you come back today and you jump on them early. It sets the tone for the game,” Gray said. “From there it was just trying to attack, attack, attack as much as I can.”
