Soto's homer in 7th gives Mets 5-4 win over Cardinals
By JERRY BEACH
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) --- Juan Soto hit a go-ahead homer in the seventh inning and the
New York Mets earned a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.
Soto's shot off JoJo Romero (0-2) allowed the Mets to avoid being swept for the
sixth time this season.
Soto's 14th homer of the season was the sixth of the game.
Alec Burleson opened the scoring with a two-out blast in the first before the
Mets responded with Bo Bichette's two-run shot and Jared Young also went deep
in the bottom half to give New York a 3-1 lead.
St. Louis answered with Lars Nootbaar's solo shot and Jimmy Crooks' two-run
homer in the second to give the Cards a 4-3 lead on an afternoon in which the
first-pitch temperature was 91 degrees and the wind was blowing out to right at
8 mph. Every homer Thursday except Bichette's went to right field.
Young accounted for the game's only non-homer RBI with a game-tying
fifth-inning single.
Mets starter Christian Scott gave up four runs and struck out six in 4 2/3
innings. The Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins allowed three runs with five strikeouts
in 4 1/3 innings.
Brooks Raley (2-1) threw a hitless seventh. Devin Williams earned his ninth
save with a perfect ninth.
The announced crowd of 37,019 offered loud ovations in the middle of the third
inning and prior to the top of the eighth, when the scoreboard aired replays of
OG Anunoby's game-winning tip-in that gave the Knicks a 107-106 win over the
San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night.
