Adam Wainwright earned his first win of the season for the Cardinals and the 168th win of his career. Alex Reyes earned his 8th save in 8 opportunities for the Cardinals this year to go along with a 0.00 ERA. The 8 saves are good for 2nd most in the MLB.
Offensively, Nolan Arenado hit his 5th HR of the season, a 3-run HR. Harrison Bader hit his 2nd HR in as many games.
The Cardinals and Mets will play game two of their four game series tonight. Johan Oviedo will get the start for the Cardinals and Jacob DeGrom gets the start for the Mets. Game time is set for 6:45 pm CT.
Let’s Go Cardinals!
