The Mets batted the pitcher eighth and Amed Rosario ninth. It pays off as Rosario singles twice, driving in two runs and scoring once. His two-run single in the bottom of the fifth drives in two and extends the Mets lead over the Cardinals to 6-3.
Update: Rosario scores on a Yoenis Cespedes single. The ninth hitter setting up the number two hitter is the whole point of batting the weakest hitter eighth.
