The Mets lose both games of the doubleheader. The Mets stranded too many base runners. They hit into some bad luck in the second game, but the biggest factor is the starting pitching was unable to continue it's stellar work. In game one, Tidwell was not ready for his ML debut and got smacked around by the Cardinals. In the second game, Megill just didn't have it today. The Mets hit Cardinals starter Palante very hard, but his defense bailed him out to keep it from being even worse. Then MrGreevey came in to toss 5.2 innings of stellar relief in his season debut for the Cardinals. Not a good day for the Mets. They need to regroup and get back to their winning ways in Arizona.
