ST. LOUIS -- Randal Grichuk and the St. Louis Cardinals love when Carlos Martinez pitches.Martinez allowed one run over eight innings and Grichuk, Matt Carpenter and Stephen Piscotty all homered off Mets starter Jacob deGrom, powering the Cardinals past New York 8-1 on Wednesday night.He can throw 99 with sink or 89 with even more sink, Grichuk said of Martinez. We feed off him. Its lot of fun playing behind him.The Cardinals, who won for the seventh time in nine games, posted a season high-tying 19 hits. They had eight players with two or more hits, including Martinez. Piscotty and Yadier Molina each had three hits.Its fun to watch them put up crooked numbers in any inning, even against a quality pitcher like deGrom, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. When you throw up 19 hits and get (RBI) from six different guys, thats a great overall effort. We had a bunch of hits but not a lot of runs early, but Stephen helped with that home run.Martinez (12-7) gave up four hits and got his second straight victory.I love how starting pitching set the tone, Matheny said. It was almost a continuation of his last outing. Hes understanding its about location and movement. He can throw anything at any time.Martinez allowed one run on three hits in seven innings against Houston his last time out.These last two outings I feel have been one of my best, Martinez said through a translator. Ive been really listening to Yadi and his advice has been really great and I feel really good about myself right now.Roughed up for the second straight start, deGrom (7-7) allowed five runs on 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings. He was tagged for a career-worst eight runs and 13 hits in his previous outing against San Francisco.I feel fine, deGrom said. Its hard to get results when you throw everything right down the middle. Thats what it is. Im missing down the middle and these are big league hitters and thats what they do.Carpenter was back in the leadoff spot after several games hitting third. His 16th homer was his third leadoff homer of the season.Jay Bruce led off the Mets second with a double but had to leave because of a cramp in his right calf. Pinch-runner Alejandro De Aza scored on a double by Asdrubal Cabrera.Hes got a tight calf, Mets manager Terry Collins said of Bruce. His calf knotted up when he was actually jogging out to right field in the first inning. When he came in he told me right away, he said, Im gonna try to hit and see if it loosens up.When he went into second base I looked out and he didnt give me the OK, so I went out and checked and he said its really tight. I couldnt afford to have him blow it out so I took him out.Piscotty drove in the go-ahead run in the third with an infield single. Grichuk, who had doubled earlier, hit his 17th homer in the fourth. Piscotty connected for his 19th homer, a two-run drive, in the fifth.Greg Garcia and Molina later had RBI singles.ROSTER MOVEThe Mets made a roster move after the game, optioning right-hander Erik Goeddel to Triple-A Las Vegas and recalling left-hander Sean Gilmartin.NOTABLEMets reliever Robert Gsellman is the first pitcher in the modern era to earn a victory in his major league debut as a reliever since John Montefusco on Sept. 3, 1974 with the Giants.TRAINERS ROOMMets: Jon Niese (left knee) may undergo surgery after lasting just one-third of an inning on Tuesday.Cardinals: Lance Lynn, coming off reconstructive elbow surgery last November, made his third rehab start Wednesday at Double-A Springfield. Theres a chance the right-hander could help in the bullpen before the season ends.UP NEXTMets: Seth Lugo (0-2, 3.04) makes his second start in place of injury Steven Matz (left shoulder tightness), who could return late this month.Cardinals: Adam Wainwright (9-7, 4.71) allowed four home runs in 6 2/3 innings July 27 and got a no decision in his lone appearance against the Mets this season.Adidas Schoenen Korting .

Thats all that separated C.J. Wilson and Joe Saunders. Wilson outdueled the former Angels left-hander with seven innings of two-hit ball, leading Los Angeles to a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night. "Every pitch counts, obviously," Wilson said. "I had this exact kind of game to Jered Weaver a couple of years ago and lost 1-0 on a flyball that Endy Chavez dropped. Mike Trout scored the run after I hit him in the foot, so it was kind of like turnabout is fair play." Wilson (6-5) struck out three, walked two and allowed only two runners as far as second base en route to his fifth straight victory over the Mariners. "Ive faced these guys three times this year, and they pretty much have an idea of what my repertoire is. So its about executing," Wilson said. "I cant fool them on stuff right down the middle because theyre not going to get surprised if I throw a slider or a changeup, so I have to hit the corners." Saunders matched zeros with Wilson through five innings, scattering four hits before Trout legged out a leadoff double to left field in the sixth. He advanced after a flyball to right by Albert Pujols and scored on a 2-2 pitch to Mark Trumbo that bounced in the dirt and away from catcher Mike Zunino. It was the first wild pitch of the season for Saunders in 89 2-3 innings to that point. "It was a tough one, but Im more mad at myself for letting a run score on a wild pitch," Saunders said. "It was a changeup down. I was trying to get him to hit it on the ground." Kendrys Morales Baltimore-chop single toward third base leading off the second inning was Seattles only hit until Kyle Seagers leadoff single in the seventh. But Wilson froze Raul Ibanez on a called third strike in the seventh with runners at first and second, and escaped the inning unscathed when Trout ran down Zuninos drive in front of the bullpen fence. "Its Mike Trout. Put a cape on him. Hes great out there," Wilson said. "That was one of the few curve balls I threw all night, and he was looking for it. It was a strike and he hit it. I was lucky that he didnt hit it higher. "... They put a lot of balls in play, so it really wasnt a really dominating game for me. I was just making good pitches, but I dont think I had exceptional stuff. Thatss why I wasnt able to get the strikeouts, which usually are kind of my bail-out if theres a problem in the inning.dddddddddddd" Scott Downs pitched a perfect eighth and Ernesto Frieri did likewise in the ninth for his 16th save in 17 attempts. "Its one of those things where runs were hard to come by tonight," Saunders said. "We didnt score any runs, so youve just got to hang with him. He stepped up his game and I stepped up my game, and it was one of those pitchers duels. I just picked the wrong day to pitch." Saunders (5-7) went the distance for the ninth time in 204 career starts, allowing six hits over eight innings with three strikeouts and two walks. A first-round draft pick by the Angels in 2002, he made only one other start against them since he was traded to Arizona in July 2010 for Dan Haren. That was on June 16, 2012, at the "Big A," when he lost 2-0 on a two-run homer in the first inning by Trumbo. Slumping Josh Hamilton was dropped to seventh in the Angels lineup by manager Mike Scioscia, one night after he grounded into double plays his first three times up and struck out twice. It was the first time that the 2010 AL MVP started a game in the seven hole since Aug. 5, 1990, with the Texas Rangers. But the change didnt help, as he went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts and saw his average dip to .210. "Weve got to figure out something," Hamilton said. "Some players wear emotions on their sleeves and break things, but Im not going to break my bat on the field because theres kids watching. If they dont think I care, theyre mistaken because it hurts me more than it hurts anybody not to be performing." NOTES: Peter Bourjos was stranded at third base in the third inning when Saunders induced a double-play grounder by Albert Pujols. The Angels have grounded into a major league-worst 77 DPs, 11 of them in the last five games. ... Kendrick lined a single through the box in the sixth, knocking Saunders glove right off his hand. ... Wilson, who spent his first five big league seasons as a reliever with the Rangers, reached the 1,000-inning mark when he retired Michael Saunders on a foul popup to end the second. ... Erick Aybar got his 100th career stolen base and first since April 30, surpassing Dick Schofield as the Angels career leader among shortstops. ... Wilson is 8-1 against Seattle in 10 starts since the beginning of the 2011 season. ' ' '
