Mayfield's Single Lifts Mets Past Cardinals In 14, White Sox Edge Indians

When Matt Harvey slapped his hand into his glove as he strode off the mound after finishing his eighth scoreless inning, the Mets and Cardinals had barely played for two hours. Six innings later, he was just happy to see John Mayberry Jr. come through in the clutch.

Pinch hitting with one out in the bottom of the 14th, Mayberry grounded an RBI infield single, lifting the Mets to a 2-1 victory over St. Louis on Monday night after blowing another lead for Harvey.

Lucas Duda beat a shifted, drawn-in infield with an opposite field hit for a run-scoring single off John Lackey in the fourth, but Jason Heyward had a sacrifice fly in the ninth off closer Jeurys Familia as the Mets wasted a second consecutive 1-0 lead for their ace.

The division leaders then struck out a combined 12 times in extras before Sam Tuivailala (0-1) walked Eric Campbell and Duda to open the 14th. Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal relived and got Michael Cuddyer to ground into a fielder's choice. Rosenthal then intentionally walked Daniel Murphy to load the bases.

Mayberry, who entered batting .114, grounded the first pitch to diving drawn-in shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who got his glove on the ball. Campbell slid home ahead of a late throw that stretching catcher Yadier Molina could not reach.

White Sox 2, Indians 1

Not even another dominant start by Corey Kluber could stop the Chicago White Sox. Of course, having Chris Sale on the mound can help keep the momentum going.

Carlos Sanchez singled home the winning run with two outs in the 10th inning Monday night to give the streaking White Sox a 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians after a sparkling pitchers' duel between Sale and Kluber.

Sale certainly relished pitching against Kluber, who struck out 12 in nine innings. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner allowed five hits and one run while walking one for the Indians.
