NY Post: Colon gets lit up by Cardinals as Mets keepstumbling. "In his second-worst start of the season, Colon allowed seven earned runs on eight hits with three walks and a hit batter over 4 ¹/₃ innings. The Cardinals turned the game into a runaway in the fifth, when Randal Grichuk hit a two-run homer against reliever Carlos Torres that made it 8-0. Grichuk’s three-run blast in the eighth against Alex Torres completed the scoring. Jason Heyward also had a huge night, with a 5-for-5 performance for the Cardinals.”

Down 4-1, the Mets send 10 men to the plate in the 5th and score 5 runs to take a 6-4 lead - Strawberry a two run single the biggest knock. Mets add another in the 7th on Howard Johnson's RBI single but things get interesting in the 9th as Roger McDowell gives up a 2-run homer to Bob Horner followed by a Terry Harper single to put the tying run on base. Jesse Orosco is brought in and he gets the final two outs to secure the win.
