Jose Barrero belted his first home run since 2023 to give the Cardinals their first run and added to his night with a two-run double that padded their lead.

After starter Andre Pallante left his outing with one out in the third inning and the bases loaded, McGreevy kept a star-studded Mets lineup to one hit and one walk. He struck out five Mets and induced five groundouts to cap an outing that secured a sweep of a doubleheader that began with a 5-4 win in Game 1.
