The Mets were hitless in their first 15 at-bats
with runners in scoring position prior to Bader's hit.
Francisco Lindor led off the sixth with a homer for the Mets,
who avoided being swept in the three-game series as they won for
just the second time in seven contests. Vientos and Bader had
two hits apiece.
New York reliever Reed Garrett (5-0) allowed an unearned run in
two innings.
The Cardinals, whose three-game winning streak was snapped, ran
themselves out of a potential multi-run inning in the top of the
11th against Garrett. Brendan Donovan led off with an RBI single
but was thrown out in a rundown as Siani, the automatic runner,
scored from second. Willson Contreras then walked but was
doubled up on Nolan Arenado's pop-up to Lindor in shallow
left-center.
Siani had an RBI safety squeeze in the fifth for the Cardinals,
who were hitless in their first 11 at-bats with runners in
scoring position prior to Donovan's single.
Mets starter Jose Quintana allowed one run on three hits and one
walk while striking out three over eight innings. He threw 26
pitches in the first inning but just 73 over his final seven
frames.
Quintana retired nine straight before Masyn Winn led off the
fifth with a double. Winn went to third on a groundout by Nolan
Gorman and scored on Siani's safety squeeze.
The left-hander then retired the final 11 batters he faced.
Quintana is the first Mets starter this season to pitch into the
seventh and the first to complete eight innings since Justin
Verlander did so last July 19.
Lance Lynn gave up one run on five hits and three walks while
striking out three over five-plus innings for the Cardinals.
