Mets and Cardinals go 20 innings

The Mets beat the Cardinals 2-1 in 20 innings Saturday in a marathon game. The game was scoreless through the first 18 innings, which is the longest such stretch in a single game since 1989. The game lasted almost seven hours. Both teams scored a run in the 19th, before the Mets finally came out on top in the 20th. Every time I see a game go this long, it is pretty incredible to me. That's a long time to be out there. Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols looked exhausted while being interviewed after the game which is totally understandable. It got to the point where the Cardinals were using position players to pitch which is always quite a sight. New York (4-7) and St. Louis (7-4) go at it again from Busch Stadium on Sunday at 6:05 p.m. on ESPN and espn3.com.
