The New York Mets lost 6-5 to the St. Louis Cardinals in the first half of their doubleheader on Sunday afternoon despite their best efforts to come back from a four-run deficit. Starting pitcher Blake Tidwell allowed all six runs across 3.2 innings in his big-league debut, and that was enough to do them in.

The New York Mets transferred left-handed reliever Danny Young to the 60-day injured list on Sunday now that team doctors have recommended he undergo Tommy John surgery. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Sunday that the team is awaiting a decision from Young about the next step.

The Mets have lost their second lefty reliever, this one for the season. Danny Young will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the remainder of 2025 and into the 2026 season, according to a league source.
