NY Post: Mets fall to Cardinals; can’t complete sweep. "Dillon Gee watched a whole weekend of exceptional pitching by his Mets teammates, then lamented his one bad toss. Gee spun and bounced a throw into center field in a key spot Monday and the St. Louis Cardinals took advantage, ending a season-worst five-game losing streak by beating the Mets 5-4." 

Lucas Duda and Scott Hairston homered for the Met in the losing cause.

National Pastime.comAfter going 1-for-11 in his first four games, Lastings Milledge collects three hits, including his first big league dinger. The two-run home run off Giants All-Star closer Armando Benitez, which ties the game in the tenth, sparks controversy when the Mets rookie, on his way to his position in right field in the 11th inning, high fives some of the Shea Stadium fans in the front row, much to the displeasure to many players in both dugouts.

Mets lose in the 12th however when Pedro Feliciano and Heath Bell allow a run to score.
