Just about everyone in the Mets’ lineup got in on the act on Monday night, and it led to a victory to open their seven-game road trip.
With all nine members of the Mets’ lineup reaching base and eight of them collecting hits, the Mets wore down the Cardinals and collected a 4-2 win on Monday night at Busch Stadium.
There were plenty of encouraging signs for the Mets offense along the way. Bo Bichette, who entered the game 1-for-14, picked up his second hit of the season — the go-ahead RBI single in the fifth inning — drove in two of the team’s runs.
In his first start of the season, Jared Young tagged an RBI double into right field and Juan Soto tacked on another RBI on a bases-loaded walk in the sixth inning.
Francisco Lindor, who had one triple combined in the last two seasons, laced his second three-base hit in as many games and scored a run in the opening frame.
The Mets pitching staff did not need much support. Clay Holmes allowed two earned runs in 5⅔ innings while Tobias Myers and Brooks Raley combined to allow one hit in 2⅓ innings.
