Gray pitches Cardinals past scuffling Mets

Sonny Gray extended his terrific start with St. Louis, Paul Goldschmidt hit an early two-run double and the Cardinals beat the New York Mets 7-4 on Saturday for their first three-game win streak this season. “It's starting to come together and they're throwing together and stringing together some really quality at-bats,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said. Ryan Helsley retired Francisco Lindor on a bases-loaded popup for the final out. Lindor struck out his previous four times up.
