Mets Aim to Sweep Cardinals in Dominant Early Season Display
What a series it's been at Citi Field! The New York Mets are on fire right now, heading into Sunday, April 20, 2025, with a serious chance to pull off a four-game sweep against the St. Louis Cardinals. The energy in Queens is electric, and it's not just because the sun’s out—it's because the Mets are absolutely rolling at home.
Coming into this final game of the series, the Mets have outscored the Cardinals 12-5 across the first three matchups. Each game has showcased something different: a powerful offense, clutch pitching, and yes, that magical walk-off home run from Francisco Lindor on Friday night that lit up the stadium. That moment alone was a reminder of just how special this team can be when it’s firing on all cylinders.
New York sits at 14-7 overall and boasts a stellar 8-1 home record. They've been especially dangerous when they rack up the hits—10-1 in games where they’ve collected eight or more. That’s a stat that speaks to how balanced and opportunistic this lineup is. Pete Alonso has been a wrecking ball at the plate, going 13-for-34 over his last 10 games with extra-base hits galore, including four doubles, a triple, and three homers.

The Cardinals, on the other hand, have had a rough go of it. They’ve now lost three straight and are struggling badly on the road with a 1-8 record. Sonny Gray takes the mound for St. Louis today with a decent stat line (3-0, 3.13 ERA), but he’ll have his hands full against a Mets team that’s clicking. Clay Holmes will start for New York—he’s sitting at 2-1 with a 3.66 ERA and will look to lock this one down.
For fans wanting to catch the action, the game kicks off at 1:40 p.m. ET and is available on WPIX locally, FanDuel Sports Midwest regionally, and for everyone else on MLB.TV. It’s also streaming via DirecTV Stream for those using online services.
Injuries have hit the Mets hard lately—Francisco Alvarez, Jose Siri, Jeff McNeil, and several others are sidelined—but that hasn’t stopped this team from performing. If anything, it's made their recent run even more impressive.
This is a squad that’s finding its rhythm early in the season, and if they close out this sweep, the rest of the league should be on alert. A strong April can set the tone for a playoff-bound year, and right now, the Mets are looking like serious contenders.
So if you're a Mets fan, clear your afternoon. Grab your favorite cap, flip on the game, and enjoy what could be another signature win in what’s shaping up to be a special season in Queens.
