Ruben Tejada went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI to help the Mets come back and beat the Cardinals 8-6 on Thursday.
Tejada had a two-run double during the Mets' six-run ninth inning. He also worked a bases-loaded walk in the fifth for the team's lone run off starter Jake Westbrook. It's the sixth time in nine games that Tejada has managed multiple hits, and he has his average up to .280. With his performance this year, he's the obvious choice to step in at shortstop for the Mets next year if Jose Reyes leaves.
