The 1969 Mets started 6-9 too.
True Metssimists know...Albert Pujols is the first player with a 2-HR, 4-run game against the Mets since...Gary Sheffield in 2004.
It's also the first time in 35 years that the Cardinals had a relief pitcher allow six runs IN A WIN. The last to do so was Al Hrabosky, in a 13-12 walk-off victory that put the Cardinals into first place in the NL East on September 25, 1974. The Cardinals trailed the Pirates, 12-9 in the bottom of the 11th, but scored four times to win. The last three runs came in via ex-Mets Joe Torre (reached via error by Rennie Stennett, plating two) and Jim Dwyer (sacrifice fly).
