NEW YORK (AP) — Alec Burleson hit his first homer in almost nine months, a three-run blast that powered the St. Louis Cardinals to a 4-2 win over the New York Mets. Burleson’s second-inning round-tripper was his first since he homered against the Minnesota Twins last Aug. 3. J.D. Martinez went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in his Mets debut. Martinez signed a one-year contract March 23 but was sidelined by lower back stiffness. Willson Contreras hit a 445-foot homer off the facade along the second deck in left field in the third for the Cardinals. Miles Mikolas gave up two runs in 5 2/3 innings to earn the win.
