The St. Louis Cardinals shut out the New York Mets 3-0 on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at Busch Stadium. Ramon Urias provided the key offensive blow with a two-run home run in the second inning off Mets starter Jose Quintana.
Cardinals starter Kyle Gibson earned the win, pitching six scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and striking out five. Relievers JoJo Romero and Ryan Helsley completed the three-hit shutout, with Helsley recording his first save of the season.
The Mets' offense was stifled throughout the game, managing only three singles. Quintana took the loss for New York despite a quality start, surrendering three runs on six hits over six innings of work.
The victory improved the Cardinals' early season record, while the Mets fell back to .500. The two teams are scheduled to continue their series on Wednesday.
