Matt Harvey drove the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and pitched 7 1/3 solid frames as the New York Mets defeated the Chicago Cubs, 3-2, in the opener of a three-game series.

Jordany Valdespin provided the spark in the Mets' two-out, two-run rally off Adam Wainwright in the third inning Thursday.

Rookie Shelby Miller followed up his nearly perfect one-hitter with 5 2-3 scoreless innings and the Cardinals scored the go-ahead run in the seventh on a wild pitch in a 4-2 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday night.

Terry Collins said he regrets his use of words after saying "I don't answer to the fans" on Tuesday.

The lineup, starting rotation and bullpen are in shambles and the only potential immediate help from below will be in New York today to have his sore right collarbone examined.

The Jordany Valdespin drama took another bizarre turn Tuesday when Mets manager Terry Collins said in a pre-game meeting with reporters in St.

Frank Francisco will rest for the next 72 hours after being diagnosed with a mild strain of the flexor pronator.

David Wright is hitting .313 with three home runs this month. Wright is tied for seventh in the National League with a .340 batting average vs.

The Mets started the season 7-4. Since then, they've gone 7-16. After today's loss to Pittsburgh dropped their record to 14-20, they found themselves a season low six games under .500. As Terry Collins pointed out in his postgame press conference, the Mets' starting pitching and offense has been woeful lately.

Pedro Alvarez, hitting well during the past few games, delivered the go-ahead hit in the Pirates' 3-2 win against the Mets at Citi Field, their third win in a row.

Matt Harvey will start for the Mets. Harvey was absolutely brilliant in his last start against the White Sox, allowing just one hit with 12 strikeouts in a nine inning no-decision. His 1.28 ERA, 0.689 WHIP, and four hits per nine innings all lead the league.

The New York Mets have had their fair share of problems this season, but the problem they had early on with the defense of shortstop Ruben Tejada seems to have been resolved.

Always eager to play through injuries, sometimes to a fault, David Wright was not about to let a sore left knee sideline him on Friday against the Pirates.

Jones doubled twice and leadoff man Starling Marte also had three hits for the Pirates, who improved to 4-13 at Citi Field.

Looking back on the schedule, it's not unprecedented for the White Sox to score five runs in a baseball game.

The Pittsburgh Pirates try to get themselves back into the win column on Thursday when they open a four-game set against the New York Mets at Citi Field.

Jeremy Hefner allowed four runs in six innings of work, one of which was a solo home run to Alejandro De Aza to leadoff the game.

Well, we didn't have to wait long to know that Jeremy Hefner wasn't going to throw a perfect game, as Alejandro De Aza homered to right to lead off the game.

Jeremy Hefner takes the hill tonight opposite the White Sox in a precarious position.

Chicken or the egg? Single sniper or extra guy on the grassy knoll? Was Matt Harvey super dominant or was the White Sox offense genuinely terrible? Is "both" a reasonable answer to all of these? These are the questions that will haunt historians, biologists, biomechanic and your most talkative co-worker until the end of days.
