ST. LOUIS -- Wednesday nights pitching matchup looks like a classic pitchers duel between hard-throwing right-handers Jacob deGrom of the New York Mets and Carlos Martinez of the St. Louis Cardinals.Then again, deGrom was supposed to be involved in a pitchers duel in his last outing and that didnt pan out.Facing Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants Thursday night, deGrom suffered perhaps the worst outing of his big league career. In five innings, he allowed 13 hits and eight runs as New York lost 10-7.Odds are that deGrom will be sharper this time, and hell probably have to be against Martinez. In a performance 180 degrees removed from deGroms, Martinez rolled through seven innings in his last start on Aug. 17 in Houston, allowing just a run and fanning seven in an 8-2 win.Whats more, Martinez has shut down the Mets in his brief big league career, going 2-1 with a 1.31 earned run average in six career outings. That includes a 3-2 win in the opener of a doubleheader July 26 in New York that saw him last five innings and work out of numerous jams.The Mets offense might be better-equipped for the rematch, even though second baseman Neil Walker (paternity leave) will miss the game. New York rapped out 12 hits Tuesday night in a 7-4 win, with the 1-2 batters -- Jose Reyes and Asdrubal Cabrera -- each bagging three.At 63-62, the Mets sit 3 1/2 games back of St. Louis (66-58) for the National Leagues second wild-card spot.Its crunch time and its nice to have the majority of our lineup back, Mets manager Terry Collins said. They know were playing for something.The Cardinals remained 1 1/2 games ahead of Miami for the second wild-card position, thanks to the Marlins 1-0 loss to Kansas City. They could have actually picked up another game on them except for a poor performance with men on base.St. Louis stranded 11 men Tuesday night, leaving two aboard in the third, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth innings. After the first inning, when it collected a pair of RBI hits with men in scoring position, it was 0-for-6 for the games remainder in that situation.We had opportunities later on and we hit some balls hard, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. But it was just one of those days. It was an uphill battle right from the beginning.Despite the loss that dropped St. Louis to 28-34 at home, center fielder Randal Grichuk continued his power surge. Since being recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Aug. 11, Grichuk is batting .289 in 38 at-bats with four homers, the fourth coming in the sixth inning Tuesday night.All but one of Grichuks 11 hits since his return have gone for extra bases as Matheny has turned him loose, willing to deal with strikeouts in exchange for the long ball and solid defense.Im not feeling for (the ball), Grichuk said when asked what the difference has been in his hitting. Im just taking a rip at it and playing. Saucony Scontate Uomo .

Neymar curled home a free kick from just outside the area to put the 2014 World Cup host ahead in the 44th minute. Three minutes after the break, a simple through pass from Paulinho freed Oscar and the Chelsea star rounded goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong to extend Brazils lead. The first-ballerAzhar Alis leadership has been under the scanner since Pakistans 4-1 ODI series loss in England. He was reportedly asked to step down from captaincy to focus on his batting. However an unlikely lifeline, even if he didnt expect it, came his way as those in the corridors of power couldnt take a decision in the absence of PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan, who was away on leave to recuperate from a heart surgery.The pressure, it seems, may have only mounted on Azhar after he nicked behind off the first ball, a 145kph Shannon Gabriel thunderbolt that snaked away off the seam after pitching on a fourth-stump line. Azhar, having been opened up, simply wafted at that good-length delivery, and watched it settle into the gloves of Denesh Ramdin before slowly trudging off.The VThe leg side for Sharjeel Khan is perhaps the cricketing equivalent of Sheldon Coopers spot. He peppers that region with short-arm jabs, whips and muscular pulls. It seemed like West Indies were in with a plan to prevent Sharjeel from skipping into his spot. The seamers hardly offered anything on middle-and-leg stumps, and instead tested Sharjeel outside off. He was initially perturbed by the early seam movement, but burst out of his comfort zone with a brace of scything drives over mid-off in the fifth over, bowled by Gabriel. Sharjeel then shovelled Carlos Brathwaite over wide long-on for six, his first leg-side boundary, at the end of the ninth over. Four balls later, Jason Holder was subjected to the same treatment.The stunning catchWhen Azam whipped Carlos Brathwaite over the top, the ball seemed destined to fly over the wide long-on boundary.... until Kieron Pollard used every inch of his 1.96 metre frame and plucked the ball out of thin air. Pollard took flight, and grabbed the ball with an outstretched right hand. But he was wary of the momentum taking him over the ad skirting, and thus tossed the ball back into the field of play. Pollard then rreclaimed his balance and the catch.dddddddddddd He deserved to take a bow for the sequence, which was just what he did, although in an angry manner.The reviewSulieman Benn beat Babar Azams inside edge and struck the pad with an arm-ball. Umpire Ahsan Raza shot down the lbw appeal, but Holder insisted on a review. The impact was in line with the stumps, but Hawk-Eye showed that the ball would carry on to hit the top of the stumps, probably because of the extra bounce Benn was extracting with his tall frame. The new zone of impact had been extended either side of the stumps by 1.6 cms, up to the edge, but anything on height still pointed to umpires call. S Ravi, the TV umpire, examined several replays before the on-field umpires call was upheld. Henderson Springer, West Indies interim coach, seemed to be having an intense chat about the review with the fourth umpire during the drinks interval, but the right call had been made.The mix-upCarlos Brathwaite bowled a cutter which Sarfraz Ahmed gently dabbed back in front of middle stump. Azam, seeing his partner take a few steps forward, responded and was nearly halfway down the pitch when Carlos Brathwaite ran in and collected the ball. While Sarfraz turned the single down, leaving Azam stranded, the bowler spun back and had all three stumps to aim at, but marginally missed.Wahabs 1-2 in vainWahab Riaz unleashed a fiery bouncer angling away outside off, and had Benn awkwardly ducking his head out of the way, in the 36th over of the chase. In the process, Benns spectacles popped out of the grille and fell on the floor. The next ball was a pinpoint yorker that shot through the defences of Benn and crashed onto the stumps. But Wahabs front foot had strayed, close-ups suggesting that his foot was on the line. Talk about ecstasy quickly giving way to agony.
