• Mets 9, Cardinals 0: Yes, the Mets won, but they lost Jon Niese for the season. The starter suffered a "complete tear of the right upper hamstring" -- ouch! -- and will have surgery. Gary Sheffield also appeared to tweak his hamstring injury. Off the field, the Mets announced Jose Reyes has scar tissue behind his knee. Don't expect him back anytime soon. The good news came from Nelson Figueroa, who pitched 4 1/3 scoreless innings and also tripled in two runs. The bad news -- the Mets are 51-56 and going nowhere.

The Yankees' winning streak was snapped at eight, with a loss to the Oakland Athletics. However, the Mets won over the Houston Astors, thanks to seven innings from rookie Jose Niese.
