NEW YORK — Mark Vientos hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning on his second day in the majors this season to give the New York Mets a 4-2 comeback victory over the St. Louis Cardinals that prevented a three-game sweep. New York was 0 for 15 with runners in scoring position and down to its last strike when Harrison Bader singled home automatic runner DJ Stewart from third base with the tying run. Vientos, who singled as a pinch hitter in the ninth, then drove a 1-2 pitch from Matthew Liberatore just beyond the glove of a leaping Michael Siani at the right-center fence.
