NEW YORK -- Just shy of a year. Thats how long Jeurys Familias saves streak lasted -- until Yadier Molina ended it with one perfectly timed swing.Molina and pinch hitter Kolten Wong each stroked an RBI double in the ninth inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals snapped Familias string of 52 straight saves in rallying to beat the New York Mets 5-4 on Wednesday night.A huge boost, Wong said. We needed this.Yoenis Cespedes hit a go-ahead homer off Adam Wainwright to cap a three-run comeback in the seventh that gave the Mets a 4-3 lead. But then Familia, who hadnt blown a regular-season save opportunity since July 30, 2015, finally faltered.Jedd Gyorko drew a four-pitch walk with one out in the ninth and was replaced by pinch runner Randal Grichuk. Molina hit the next pitch to deep center field, and Grichuk scored standing up to tie it.Molina was thrown out at third by Familia (2-2) on pinch hitter Jeremy Hazelbakers comebacker. But Hazelbaker stole second, then he scored when Wong lined a double just inside the left-field line.That was probably one of the top, top things Ive experienced in a while, said Wong, who lost his everyday job at second base this season and got demoted to the minors last month. To see some kind of light at the end of the tunnel was definitely something I needed and something that Ive been wanting for a long, long time.Familias franchise-record saves streak was the third longest in major league history, behind Tom Gordon (54) and Eric Gagne (84).They made good contact on my sinker, and I walked a guy and Molina came and jumped on the first pitch, and thats it, said Familia, who was charged with three blown saves in last years World Series loss to the?Kansas City Royals.Jonathan Broxton (3-2) tossed a scoreless eighth for the Cardinals, and Seung Hwan Oh got three quick outs for his sixth save.Including a split of Tuesdays doubleheader, St. Louis took two of three from the Mets in a matchup of National League wild-card contenders.Logan Verrett pitched seven efficient innings, and slumping Neil Walker went 3-for-3 with a base on balls for the third-place Mets, who dropped 5? games behind the NL East-leading?Washington Nationals.This is a really tough one to take, said Mets manager Terry Collins.Matt Holliday hit a two-run double off Verrett with two outs in the third, and Matt Adams followed with an RBI double that made it 3-1.Wainwright, who entered 3-0 in July with a major league-low 0.93 ERA, nursed that lead until the seventh after repeatedly pitching out of trouble. He nearly did so again after striking out Curtis Granderson and Asdrubal Cabrera with runners at the corners.But then Travis dArnaud scored on a wild pitch, and Cespedes, who fouled off three full-count offerings, socked a two-run home run off the facing of the second deck in left center.The homer came on the 117th and final pitch from the 34-year-old Wainwright, who had not allowed a home run in just more than 66 innings, since Washingtons Ryan Zimmerman connected on May 28. That was the longest such streak in the majors this season.It was almost heartbreaking. For a moment, it was. I was at my lowest of lows this season, Wainwright said. It was almost really bad, but the team saved me tonight.COMING ATTRACTION?Because of Tuesdays doubleheader, St. Louis needs a fill-in starter on Saturday night in Miami. But Cardinals manager Mike Matheny?would not say whether the team was leaning toward promoting RHP Alex Reyes to make his major league debut. The 21-year-old Reyes, one of baseballs premier prospects, was removed from his Triple-A outing after three innings on Tuesday -- perhaps to keep him available for Saturday. Left-handed reliever Tyler Lyons, who made 20 major league starts from 2013-15, also could be a candidate. Were not ruling out anything at this point, Matheny said.POWER OUTAGECardinals hitters were kept in the ballpark after the club homered in 17 consecutive games -- its longest streak since a team-record run of 19 in 2006.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: 1B-OF Brandon Moss (sprained left ankle) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday at Double-A Springfield, with All-Star INF Matt Carpenter (strained right oblique) not far behind. But neither has a defined timetable to return, Matheny said.Mets: 3B Jose Reyes received an injection and treatment for the rib cage strain on his left side. He is likely to be sidelined until at least Friday, Collins said, and Wilmer Flores will continue to fill in.UP NEXTCardinals: RHP Michael Wacha (5-7, 4.37 ERA) starts Thursday night in Miami against RHP Jose Fernandez (12-4, 2.54), who is 26-1 with a 1.47 ERA at Marlins Park.Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (6-5, 2.73 ERA) looks to rebound from his worst start of the season on Thursday afternoon against?Colorado Rockies?LHP Tyler Anderson (3-3, 3.56) in the opener of a four-game series. Rob Blake Jersey . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. Kurtis MacDermid Kings Jersey . PAUL, Minn. http://www.kingsauthentic.com/authentic-rob-blake-kings-jersey/ . Emery skated the length of the ice and fought an unwilling Holtby during the third period of the Flyers 7-0 loss Friday night in Philadelphia. He was given 29 penalty minutes, including a game misconduct. But Emery did not face even a disciplinary hearing with NHL senior vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan because rules 46. Wayne Gretzky Jersey . That gave fans outside Joe Louis Arena another chance to ask for autographs from the 19-year-old whose stardom in the NHL has arrived earlier than most expected. Wayne Gretzky Kings Jersey . They hope to persuade the other team owners and commissioner Roger Goodell to put pressure on Redskins owner Daniel Snyder to drop the nickname they find offensive. "Given the way the meeting transpired," Ray Halbritter, an Oneida representative and leader of the "Change the Mascot Campaign," said Wednesday, "it became somewhat evident they were defending the continued use of the name. Miguel Cotto, the probable future Hall of Famer and the only Puerto Rican fighter to win world titles in four weight divisions, still plans to return to the ring in December, but it will not come against Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez, as has been heavily discussed in recent months.Although the camps were closing in on a deal, they could not overcome the issue of what weight to fight at, and the match is dead, Miguel Cotto Promotions Bryan Perez, Cottos right-hand man, told ESPN.com on Monday.A fight with Juan Manuel Marquez is not happening, 100 percent for sure, Perez said. Maybe we can make it later on, but it will not be Miguels fight this year.Miguel wanted the fight, but it was all about getting a deal for the right weight. Financial-wise, there were no problems making a deal. Usually making a big fight, its financial when there are issues. That was not what happened with Marquez.Cotto, who has won world titles from junior welterweight to middleweight, has boxed between 152 and 155 pounds in his past nine fights since leaving the welterweight division in 2010. Perez said he was willing to drop down to meet Marquez at 150 pounds.Marquez, who also has won world titles in four weight divisions but between featherweight and junior welterweight, was willing to fight as heavy as the welterweight limit of 147 pounds, Perez said. But they could not overcome the 3-pound spread.Cotto has not fought as a welterweight since he was 145 pounds and lost his welterweight title by 12th-round knockout to Manny Pacquiao in November 20009.ddddddddddddarquez has never been heavier than the 144? pounds he weighed in a split-decision loss to Timothy Bradley Jr. in a 2013 welterweight world title bout.So now Cotto is looking for another opponent for his next fight, which likely will take place in South Florida, possibly at Marlins Park, the home stadium of Major League Baseballs Miami Marlins.We are working on Miguels next fight with our [promotional] partners at Roc Nation Sports, Perez said. The Marquez fight was something Miguel wanted, but we couldnt agree on the weight. They both wanted to fight each other. Miguel wanted 150, Juan Manuel Marquez wanted 147. Juan Manuel decided not to come up a couple of more pounds and we respect his decision about not coming up to 150. Hes a great fighter and a great champion. But 150 is where Miguel would feel comfortable going down to.Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs), 35, has not fought since losing a decision and the middleweight world title to Canelo Alvarez in their Nov. 21 pay-per-view showdown at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.The 42-year-old Marquez (56-7-1, 40 KOs) is 1-2-1 against Pacquiao but scored a massive sixth-round knockout in the victory in their fourth bout, a nontitle welterweight fight in 2012. But Marquez has not fought since winning a unanimous decision against Mike Alvarado in a May 2014 welterweight title eliminator at the Forum in Inglewood, California, mainly because of a knee injury.
