The Mets tallied 17 hits, marking their second-highest total of the season, and continued their winning streak against the Cardinals, now reaching nine games. St. Louis pitcher Sonny Gray, who had a strong record against the Mets, struggled and was knocked out early after giving up five runs and nine hits in just over four innings.

Brandon Nimmo's seventh home run of the season came in the seventh inning and was part of a 17-hit performance by the Mets, which was their second-highest hit total in the season.

Sonny Gray, a pitcher with a previously unbeaten record against the Mets, struggled in this game, allowing five runs (four earned) on nine hits and three walks, marking his shortest outing of the season.
