Brandon Nimmo leaps at the wall to rob a homer

Francisco Lindor had three hits, including a leadoff homer, and the Mets completed a four-game sweep of St. Louis at home for the first time in franchise history. The club's previous three four-game sweeps against the Cardinals came in St. Louis, the most recent in April 1986.

Juan Soto had three RBI, including a two-run double to cap a three-run eighth that made it 7-3. New York improved to 9-1 at home and won its eighth straight meeting with the Cardinals, equaling the longest winning streak versus St. Louis in team annals.

JoJo Romero (1-2) took the loss in relief for the Cardinals, who fell to 1-9 on the road and were swept in a four-game series for the first time since June 2021 against Cincinnati at home.

After trailing 3-0, the Cardinals got a run in the sixth against starter Clay Holmes and tied it with two outs in the seventh when rookie Thomas Saggese delivered a two-run double on the first pitch from reliever José Buttó (2-0).

Lindor launched Sonny Gray's fourth pitch into the second deck in right field for his 22nd career leadoff homer and second this season.

A single by Lindor set up Soto's shallow sacrifice fly in the third, and Pete Alonso added a two-out RBI single in the fifth.

Key moment Nimmo leaped above the left-field wall to steal a solo homer from Walker on Holmes' career-high 91st pitch, preserving a 3-1 lead in the sixth.

Key stat Gray entered 4-0 with a 2.31 ERA in four career starts against the Mets. St. Louis won his previous eight outings dating to Aug. 29, 2024.

Up next Cardinals: RHP Erick Fedde (1-2, 3.43 ERA) starts Monday night at Atlanta against RHP Spencer Schwellenbach (1-1, 2.55) in the opener of a three-game series.
