St. Louis Absorbs 8-2 Loss to New York
José Vázquez helped his team muscle past the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-2. In the game, the New York second baseman went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. José Ferrer picked up the win, lifting his record to 1-0 on the season. He struck out 2 and walked 5 in 6 innings, while yielding 2 runs. St. Louis is 4-1 after the defeat.

New York designated hitter Héctor Cabrera contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the second. With two down, he hit a fastball to right-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 4th hit of the season and put the Mets ahead, 2-0.

"We put our best foot forward tonight," said a smiling Cabrera.
