NEW YORK -- The only thing Jenrry Mejia popped Monday night was his fastball. Stitched Marlins Jerseys . Showing off a sizzling heater with wicked movement, Mejia pitched four-hit ball into the seventh inning and led the New York Mets over the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0. Mejia (3-0) bounced back well from a torn blister on his right middle finger that limited him to five innings in his last start. The 24-year-old righty began the game by getting Matt Carpenter to look at three straight strikes, and rarely was in trouble. "Coming off the blister ... we werent sure what he was going to give us," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "He gave us more than we expected, for sure." David Wright lined an early RBI single that extended his hitting streak to 12 games and Kyle Farnsworth earned his first save as the New Yorks newest closer. On an evening when the Mets debuted new camouflage tops to salute the military, they looked sharp, particularly on a double play started by shortstop Ruben Tejada. The Cardinals lost for the third time in four games. "Their shortstop kind of stopped any kind of rally from happening," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Being frustrated, I dont think theres anything wrong with that," he said after the NL champions were shut out for the third time this year. "I think the bigger story is that our offence will get going on a consistent basis." Mejia struck out seven in 6 2-3 innings and walked three. He stretched his scoreless streak to 13 2-3 innings. Mejia said the blister was hardly a concern. The St. Louis hitters were the ones having trouble, not him. "They know my fastball moves," he said. Scott Rice and Carlos Torres each got two outs before Farnsworth, the Mets third closer this year, pitched the ninth for his first save. Farnsworth inherited the role after Bobby Parnell needed Tommy John surgery and Jose Valverde struggled. Farnsworth had two saves last season for Pittsburgh. Tyler Lyons (0-1) lost in his first major league game of the season. Promoted from Triple-A Memphis earlier in the day to take the rotation spot of injured Joe Kelly, he allowed two runs and six hits in six innings. A 26-year-old lefty with a big-breaking slider, Lyons struck out seven. Hes another in the long line of tall, homegrown pitchers developed by the Cardinals, and went 2-4 last year in his first big league season. Lyons struck out the first two batters in the third before Eric Young Jr. singled for the Mets first hit. Slumping Curtis Granderson was hit by a pitch and Wright singled for a 1-0 lead. Lyons throwing error on a tapper set up another run in the sixth. Daniel Murphy walked, later stole third and scored on a single by Travis dArnaud. Mejia escaped his biggest jam in the sixth when, with runners at the corners and one out, he retired Matt Holliday on a popup and Matt Adams on a grounder. The previous inning, the Mets backed Mejia with a sweet double play. Tejada dived to stop Jon Jays grounder up the middle and flipped to Murphy, and the second baseman made a barehanded catch and spun quickly for the relay. "Tremendous double play," Collins praised.

Zdeno Chara scored with 13 seconds left in regulation after David Krejci tied it late, lifting the Bruins to a 3-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday night in a game that saw Orpik taken from the ice on a stretcher.Fayetteville, AR - Rohan Gaines 100-yard interception return touchdown highlighted a banner day for the Arkansas defense, which stifled a mistake-laden Ole Miss in a resounding 30-0 victory over the No. 8 Rebels. Gaines big play was one of six turnovers forced by Arkansas (6-5, 2-5 SEC) in the resurgent Razorbacks second consecutive shutout over a ranked opponent. The Hogs halted a 17-game losing streak in SEC play with last weeks 17-0 blanking of then-No. 20 LSU. Bo Wallace was responsible for four of the miscues, tossing two interceptions and losing a pair of fumbles on a forgettable afternoon for the Ole Miss offense, which mustered just 63 rushing yards in the third straight conference loss for the sliding Rebels (8-3, 4-3). Wallace finished 16-of-31 for 235 yards before being yanked early in the fourth quarter. Alex Collins rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries for Arkansas. Quarterback Brandon Allen went 5-for-10 for 87 yards and a touchdown before leaving in the second quarter with a hip injury and being replaced by his younger brother, Austin. The Rebels entered Saturdays showdown having yielded an FBS-best 11.9 points per game, but had their season average eclipsed during a first quarter that was completely dominated by the Razorbacks. Arkansas defense set the tone by inducing a three-and-out on the opening drive, and the offense needed just three plays to jump out to a quick 7-0 lead. Collins broke off a 15-yard run deep into Ole Miss territory on the second snap of the Razorbacks initial series, then Keon Hatcher beat his man on the next play to haul in a 25-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Allen less than three minutes in. Wallace had the ball knocked loose by Martrell Spaight on the ensuing possession and Trey Flowers recovered for Arkansas at the Ole Miss 29. The turnover led to Adam McFains 22-yard field for a 10-0 Razorbacks lead midway through the first quarter. The Rebels again failed to make progress on their next drive, and Arkansas marched down to the opposing 1-yard line after getting the ball back near midfield. Jonathan Williams fumbled on 4th-and-goal to give Ole Miss a brief reprieve, but the Rebels were offside on the play and Colllins leaped over the goal line on the second-chance attempt to increase the margin to 17-0. Marlins Jerseys China. Wallace temporarily left the game in the second quarter after hurting his right ankle on a sack in which he lost a fumble. He returned after missing two series to connect with Quincy Adeboyejo for a 40-yard gain to the Arkansas 13, but was intercepted in the end zone by Tevin Mitchell shortly thereafter to thwart the Rebels best scoring chance of the half. The mistakes didnt end for Ole Miss following the break, as Wallace was sacked by Flowers for a 14-yard loss on fourth down to begin Arkansas second third-quarter possession near midfield. A 33-yard completion from Austin Allen to Hatcher later on positioned McFain for a successful 31-yard field goal. Wallace responded by hitting on three straight throws on the following sequence to bring the Rebels inside the Arkansas 20. However, he lofted a ball for Adeboyejo in the end zone two plays later, and Gaines snared the pass before sprinting down the sideline and following his blocks all the way down the field to extend the Razorbacks lead to 27-0 with 3:38 to go in the third quarter. McFain capped the scoring with his third field goal of the game, an 18-yarder with 11:42 left that was set up when Rebels backup quarterback DeVante Kincade had the ball slip through his hands while dropping back to pass, with the Razorbacks recovering on the Ole Miss 1-yard line. Brooks Ellis recorded the Razorbacks sixth takeaway with an interception of Ryan Buchanan in Arkansas territory with less than 6 1/2 minutes to go.
