ST. LOUIS (AP) — Masyn Winn singled home the winning
run with two outs in the 11th inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals a
2-1 victory over the slumping New York Mets on Wednesday.

St. Louis (4-2) took two of three games from the Mets, who went
1 for 29 with runners in scoring position during the series,
including 0 for 11 in the finale. New York (3-3) is batting .162
in those situations this year.
Juan Soto homered for the Mets in the sixth — right after
Francisco Lindor got picked off first base by starter Matthew
Liberatore.
With two outs and automatic runner JJ Wetherholt on third, Winn
lofted a blooper to shallow right field that fell just in front
of diving rookie Carson Benge. It was the first hit of the
series for Winn, and his first career walk-off RBI. He is 4 for
25 (.160) this season.
Tobias Myers (0-1) worked 1 2/3 innings in a hard-luck loss.
Freddy Peralta was charged with one run and three hits over 5
1/3 innings in his second start for the Mets. He struck out
seven and walked two.
The right-hander gave up a leadoff single in the sixth to
Wetherholt, who scored on Gorman's two-out single off Huascar
Brazobán.
Liberatore allowed one run and three hits in six innings.
The start was delayed an hour because of rain. St. Louis
improved to 2-0 in extra innings, while New York dropped to 1-2.
Soto has hit safely in all six games this season. He's reached
base safely in all 41 career games against St. Louis.
Up next
Mets: LHP David Peterson (0-0) faces LHP Robbie Ray (0-1) in San
Francisco on Thursday night.
Cardinals: Following an off day, RHP Michael McGreevy (0-0)
starts Friday in Detroit against LHP Framber Valdez (0-0).
