Mets Cut Down Cardinals, 5-1
Starting pitcher Doyle Alexander was a major factor in the 5-1 New York Mets triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Mets sit in 4th place in the National League East Division with a record of 55-56.

New York used the clutch hitting of Bob Watson to capture the win. The first baseman drilled a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Mets the lead, 5-1. For the game, Watson had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"Doyle did a tremendous job," said New York manager Wally Post.
