Francisco Lindor led off the bottom of the ninth with a long home run for the New York Mets, who came back to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 on Friday night.

The Mets have won the first two games of the four-game series and four of six overall. The Cardinals have lost three of four.

St. Louis’ Brendan Donovan tied the game by homering to lead off the ninth against Huascar Brazoban (1-0) before Lindor hit the third pitch he saw from Ryan Fernandez (0-2) into the second deck in right field. It was Lindor’s only hit of the night and the 250th homer of his career.

Lindor dropped his bat and stared into the Mets dugout before beginning his trot.

It was Lindor’s second walk-off RBI of the season. He lofted a ninth-inning sacrifice fly in a 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on April 5.

The Mets briefly took the lead in the eighth, when Luis Torrens laced a one-out RBI double. New York had tied the game twice earlier. In their two-run rally in the fifth, Tyrone Taylor (triple) and Juan Soto (single) had RBIs, and in the sixth, when Mark Vientos homered for the second time in as many nights.

Pete Alonso tripled and drew two walks for the Mets.

Nolan Arenado had two hits for the Cardinals, including a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth to give St. Louis a 3-2 lead. Pedro Pages and Jordan Walker staked the Cardinals to a 2-0 lead with RBI singles in the second and fourth, respectively.

Donovan finished 2-for-4 and extended his hitting streak to a career-high 14 games.

Mets starter David Peterson gave up three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out nine over 5 1/3 innings. Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one over 4 2/3 innings.

Shedeur Sanders to Browns: Which QBs had good careers after getting drafted in Round 5 or later?

Getty Images The wait is over for Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft. Once projected to be the second quarterback taken in the draft, Sanders wasn't one of the top five quarterbacks taken and his draft stock took a massive slide. On Saturday, the Cleveland Browns took a chance on Sanders early in the fifth round with the No. 144 pick, adding their second rookie quarterback of this draft (selected Dillon Gabriel in the third round). They traded up ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles to assure they landed their guy.No quarterback was taken in Round 4, meaning Sanders slipped even further on Day 3 of the draft. The Heisman Trophy finalist continued to wait until Cleveland made the move. What does it mean for Sanders being a fifth-round pick? It doesn't mean he can't carve out a good career in the NFL. […]

Shedeur Sanders drafted by Browns in Round 5: Colorado QB finally selected with pick No. 144

Getty Images The wait is finally over for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, as the Browns selected him with the No. 144 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall-of-Famer and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, was widely expected to be a first- or second-round pick but instill fell all the way to the fifth round and was selected behind five other quarterbacks. The Browns gave up picks 166 and 192 to trade up 22 spots with the Seattle Seahawks for the right to select Sanders. Sanders now presumably gets a chance to develop and compete in a quarterback room that includes the injured Deshaun Watson, Kenny Pickett (acquired via trade), Joe Flacco (signed in April) and Dillon Gabriel (third-round pick). It's a far cry from where Sanders likely expected to be coming into this weekend, but he's still getting his NFL […]

Wrexham are heading to the Championship: This is the story of their third straight promotion season

Even for a club dubbed ‘Hollywood FC’ and whose players recently starred alongside Channing Tatum in a Super Bowl advert, Danny DeVito high-fiving supporters in a Los Angeles bar to celebrate a stoppage-time winner remains one of the more surreal moments this season.Ollie Rathbone’s darting run and angled shot from 20 yards to break the deadlock against Barnsley was certainly worthy of such an effusive reaction from the 80-year-old as he joined fellow It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-stars in saluting Wrexham’s goal.AdvertisementBut still, DeVito is acting royalty, and this was a match being played two tiers below the Premier League and 5,200 miles away.
