ST. LOUIS (AP) - Jose Reyes' bases-clearing triple keyed a six-run third that included pitcher Mike Pelfrey's first-ever RBI and the New York Mets routed the St. Louis Cardinals 11-1 Thursday. Carlos Delgado had a two-run homer and three RBIs as the Mets pounded rookie Mitchell Boggs, rebounding from a one-run loss to earn a split in the four-game series.
The Mets had 39 hits and 25 runs the last three games of the series after losing the opener 7-1. Boggs surrendered 11 runs, 10 hits, six walks and two wild pitches in six innings. Pelfrey allowed a run and six hits in seven innings, winning his fourth straight on the road.
The Cardinals take on the Cubs tonight. It will be Braden Looper against Carlos Zambrano in the series opener.
