Metstradamus: Splitting Cadillacs. "With apologies to those of you who came up with the theory that the Mets rained out Monday’s game to prevent Trevor Williams from pitching, Trevor Williams pitched four shutout innings to help the Mets to a matinee victory in their doubleheader against St. Louis on Tuesday. It’s almost as if … it actually rained!"


Box Score: Game 2 - Cardinals 4 Mets 3;


From the Mets Post 2nd Game Notes: 

Mets: Have alterated wins and losses in their last eight games.
• Are 6-2 in doubleheaders this season.
• Are 5-6 in one-run games this season.
• Four of their five games this homestand have been one-run games.

Mark Canha (1-4, HR, RBI, R, BB): Launched a solo home run in the first.

Adonis Medina (2.2 IP, 3 H, 2 K): Has tossed 6.1 scoreless innings this season.

Jeff McNeil (1-4, RBI): Is batting .386 (22-57) with a .973 OPS with runners on base this season.

Taijuan Walker (5.0 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K): Matched his season-high with four strikeouts.

Eduardo Escobar (1-4, HR, RBI, R): Lined a solo home run to right-center field in the fourth...Was his first home run in 21 games (84 at-bats).

• Had three hits in the doubleheader, matching his total from his previous nine games.
• Is 5-10 with 2 HR in his career against Steven Matz.

Brian Joura Mets360: "For at least the fifth time this year, Buck Showalter opted to send back a middle reliever when he didn’t have to, just to get the platoon advantage against a non-elite hitter. Joely Rodriguez got the last out of the eighth inning and Adam Ottavino was ready to pitch the ninth. But because the immortal Brendan Donovan was coming up, Showalter left Rodriguez in the game. Donovan walked and eventually scored the winning run, giving the Cardinals a split of the doubleheader."


Before the Double Header the Mets announces some Roster Moves: OF Starling Marte was placed on the Bereavement List on May 16; RHP Steve Nogosek was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on May 16; RHP Adonis Medina has been added as the 27th player for today's doubleheader…He is available for both games.

After the Double Header they announced more Roster Moves: Jake Reed – Optioned to AAA on May 17th ; Gosuke Katoh – Recalled from AAA on May 17th He will wear #25.
