ST. LOUIS — As the Mets play the second half of a doubleheader against the Cardinals, they will be looking to ensure that they do not drop a second straight series. The Mets dropped the opening game, 6-5, in Blade Tidwell's major league debut despite an eighth-inning rally that featured a two-run single by Francisco Lindor. Now, with the second game slated for 6:15 p.m., Tylor Megill (3-2, 1.74) will be looking to play the role of stopper against the Cardinals' Andre Pallante.

ST. LOUIS — Jesse Winker's first start in the outfield this season ended prematurely. Winker, who made the start in left field, was removed from Sunday's first game of the doubleheader after dealing with right side discomfort, the Mets announced. The 31-year-old, who has served predominantly in a designated hitter platoon with Starling Marte, made two plays in the outfield before his exit. He was replaced by Jeff McNeil, who moved from second base.

ST. LOUIS — Through three innings in his major league debut, Blade Tidwell had been able to corral his emotions and buckle down under pressure. But the fourth inning proved to spell disaster as his pitch count swelled and his command began to waver. In the frame, the 23-year-old right-hander walked two batters, hit a batter and allowed a pair of two-run singles as his first start ended abruptly on Sunday afternoon in Busch Stadium.

ST. LOUIS — Carlos Mendoza was impressed with Blade Tidwell's demeanor as he worked with the Mets in spring training in Port St. Lucie, Fla., earlier this year. Tidwell was knocking on the door of the major leagues. He tossed an immaculate inning against the Rays in early May. On Sunday, Tidwell, who was drafted in 2022, will get his first chance at the major league level as he debuts on the mound against the Cardinals in the opening game of the teams' doubleheader at 1:15 p.m. at Busch Stadium.
