Cardinals Crush Mets in Dominant Win

The St. Louis Cardinals crushed the New York Mets 9-2 in a blowout that exposed Mets’ pitching woes and offensive futility. Austin Warren and David Peterson combined for disaster, with Peterson allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out just one. The Cardinals jumped out early, scoring twice in the first and adding a homer in the third. Jordan Walker’s three-run blast in the fourth made it 7-0, and despite a brief Mets rally via Francisco Alvarez’s homer, St. Louis answered immediately. The Mets’ offense went cold, tallying just three hits, while the Cardinals added a run in the ninth to seal the win. With Peterson’s ERA now over 5.75 and the Mets back to .500 or worse, the writing is on the wall — this team is likely headed for a trade deadline rebuild.
