The New York Mets continued their dominance over the St. Louis Cardinals with a convincing 9-3 victory at Busch Stadium. The standout performer was Pete Alonso, who not only hit his eighth home run of the season but was also named the National League Player of the Month. Alonso's two-run homer in the fifth inning proved to be the turning point, lifting the Mets to a 4-3 lead. In addition to Alonso, key contributions came from Brandon Nimmo, who hit a leadoff homer in the seventh, and Francisco Alvarez, who recorded three RBIs. Starting pitcher Clay Holmes secured his fourth win of the season after allowing three runs over six innings.

On the Cardinals' side, they struggled to maintain their early lead, with starter Sonny Gray giving up six runs in just over four innings. Despite Masyn Winn's and Willson Contreras's contributions, the team could not capitalize on early chances as the Mets' offense proved too much. As the Mets prepare for another showdown with the Cardinals, they aim to extend their unbeaten streak against them.
