FINAL: The St. Louis Cardinals defeat the New York Mets 2-0 behind some real good pitching on both sides. In the end for the Mets, it was too much Adam Wainwright as they couldn't capitalize on the few opportunities he allowed. So far each team can only score two run against each other. It has been a well played series so far and things shouldn't change all that much for the remainder. The Mets fall back to .500, as the Cardinals inch closer to the top of the National League Central.
