While most of the league was off on Monday, the Mets were hosting a Make up game with the St. Louis Cardinals, and it worked out better than a day off for the Mets as the sent St. Louis packing with a 6-4 win. Despite the two home runs by St. Louis – one from Ryan Ludwick, and one from Brendan Ryan – the Mets were able to overcome with solid pitching and good hitting of their own.

Daniel Murphy hit a home run for New York, while Tim Redding pitched seven inning, giving up only five hits. Luis Castillo, and Omir Santos has perfect nights from the plate for the Mets as well going 3-3 and 4-4 respectively.

The free win leaves the Mets only 2.5 games back in the NL East behind Philadelphia with a chance to cut even further into it before the All Star break next week. The two clubs have been the class of the NL East for years and continue to vie for dominance in the north east.

However, the past few years have been owned by the Phillies as cataclysmic late-season collapses have left the Mets on the sidelines the past two season, culminating in Philadelphia’s World Series Championship last October.

Grab some Mets tickets and head down to Citi Field and help the Mets out on their quest to overcome their past and take the NL East crown at last.
