Behind a solid performance from center fielder Jake McCarthy, the New York Mets defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-5. McCarthy was 2-3 with a triple and a walk, while scoring 2 runs for the Mets. At 18-19, New York is in 4th place in the National League East Division.

McCarthy had a game-changing triple in the top of the ninth. On a 2-2 fastball from Daniel Hudson, he banged a run-scoring triple to center, giving the Mets a 4-3 lead. It was the 1st triple of the year for McCarthy.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," McCarthy told the New York Herald.
