NEW YORK (AP) — Nolan Arenado hit two homers Sunday, including a tiebreaking shot in the ninth inning that lifted the St. Louis Cardinals to an 8-7 win over the New York Mets and a rare series win. Arenado hit a two-run homer in the first inning for the Cardinals, who blew an early 5-1 lead. Paul DeJong and Jordan Walker also homered while Paul Goldschmidt had a two-run double for St. Louis, which was 0-5-1 in its previous six series.
