The big blast following and error and a hit — that’s the way this team has done it all year, taking advantage of the other team’s mistake.
Keeping the inning going, though, is important, to tax the bullpen and break this open. The Cards can score, so we want to see this put out of reach.

The pitch count is there, but is the effectiveness? Perez seems to be pitching just well enough to keep things in check. There is no reason for the Mets not to take advantage of Reyes’ wildness.
