NEW YORK — Rather than rehash the curveball that froze him so long ago, Carlos Beltran focused on the current task — getting hits off Adam Wainwright, and getting the New York Mets back into the race.
Mets pound the Cardinals 8-2
Beltran gained a small measure of revenge against Wainwright and the Mets suddenly broke loose Tuesday night, roughing up the St. Louis ace in an 8-2 romp over the Cardinals.
Game notes
There was an odd sun delay when the Mets batted in the second. A ray of light shone through a concourse opening, and play was briefly held up for Cardinals C Yadier Molina to get sunglasses. …Brendan Ryan’s bat sailed a half-dozen rows over the St. Louis 3B dugout in the second. That was farther than his infield single rolled on the next pitch. … Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, who left Sunday’s game with discomfort, has been cleared to pitch. … 1B Mike Hessman, the active leader in career minor league home runs with 329, reported to the Mets. He fouled out as a pinch-hitter, and Manuel said he plans to start Hessman on Wednesday night.
