Article:No Run Support Again

The New York Mets failed to provide run support and that led to a 3-0 lost to the St Louis Cardinals. The series is tied up 1-1 with two games remaining.

Mets starting pitcher, Livan Hernandez, pitched seven innings and allowed three earned runs with three strike outs and only three walks. Hernandez suffered his second defeat on the season, which brings him to 5-2 with a 4.05 ERA.

Everyone in the Mets line-up went hitless, except second baseman, Luis Castillo and center fielder Jeremy Reed. The Mets didn't get their first hit until the ninth inning.

Cardinals starting pitcher, Joel Pineiro, pitched a complete game, only allowing two runs and had one strike out.

Cardinals second baseman, Skip Schumaker, Pineiro and short stop Brendan Ryan scored the Cardinals only three runs.
