Leahy and Svanson struggle as Cards drop opener to Mets | Cards Central 365 Postgame

The Cardinals drop the series opener 4–2 to the Mets, as Kyle Leahy struggled in his first extended start, allowing four runs while battling command issues. The offense never found a rhythm against Clay Holmes, managing just five hits, with Nolan Gorman providing the lone highlight with a towering solo homer. Despite the loss, there were some encouraging signs for St. Louis, including strong early-season production from young hitters like Gorman and Jordan Walker, and a solid outing from reliever George Soriano. Ultimately, missed opportunities and a quiet lineup proved costly as the Cardinals couldn’t keep pace with a tough Mets pitching staff. Broadcasting from The Crown Room at Ballpark Village.
