    J.D. Martinez's stellar debut can't keep Mets from falling to Cardinals

    Perhaps the addition of J.D. Martinez will prove to be a game-changer for the Mets over the course of a long season. He couldn't change his first game, though. Martinez made a solid debut and drilled his first few hits with his new team, but he could not flip a switch for a Mets offense that was mostly turned off — going 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position and leaving five on base — in a 4-2 loss to open a series with the Cardinals in front of 24,159 in Citi Field on Friday night. 3 DJ Stewart strikes out to end the Mets' loss to the Cardinals on Friday.
