NEW YORK — — Brandon Nimmo robbed Jordan Walker of a home run in the sixth inning and singled home the tiebreaking run in the seventh as the New York Mets beat St. Louis 7-4 on Sunday for their first four-game sweep of the Cardinals in 39 years.
Francisco Lindor had three hits, including a leadoff homer, and the Mets completed a four-game sweep of St. Louis at home for the first time in franchise history. The club’s previous three four-game sweeps against the Cardinals came in St. Louis, the most recent in April 1986.
Juan Soto had three RBI, including a two-run double to cap a three-run eighth that made it 7-3. New York improved to 9-1 at home and won its eighth straight meeting with the Cardinals, equaling the longest winning streak versus St. Louis in team annals.
JoJo Romero (1-2) took the loss in relief for the Cardinals.
RHP Erick Fedde (1-2, 3.43 ERA) starts Monday night at Atlanta, 5:20 with the pregame and the first pitch at 6:15 on KIRX.
