ST. LOUIS -- After finally dialing in his delivery, Lance Lynn kept the Cardinals in the game just long enough. Lynn overcame early control woes and St. Louis used a three-run seventh inning to snap a tie and beat the New York Mets 6-3 on Monday night. "Early on I was just missing and I got a little bit upset with myself and got a little bit out of my game," Lynn said. "I was able to stay in and give my team a chance to win, thats what its all about." Lynn (6-1) allowed three runs on three hits and four walks the first two innings, and manager Mike Matheny said he was often missing to the third-base side of the plate. He only gave up one hit and one walk in his last five innings. He is 4-0 at home this season. It was the Cardinals 10th win in the past 12 games. "That really could have gone bad early on, but he fought his way through it," Matheny said. "Hes a horse." Rick Ankiel, signed by the Mets earlier in the day after clearing waivers and playing against the team that revived his career as a position player, just missed a diving catch on Ty Wiggintons pinch-hit bloop double to shallow centre off Scott Rice (1-3) to open the seventh. Ankiels equipment didnt arrive and couldnt hang onto the ball using pitcher Jonathon Nieses glove. "I do think if I have my glove it stays in there," Ankiel said. "Im the type of person, if I get a glove on it I feel I should have caught it. "I didnt. It stinks." Matt Carpenter followed Wiggintons hit with a sharp grounder off Rices leg and the ball rolled into foul territory down the first-base line. Wigginton never stopped running and his head-first slide barely beat the tag to snap a 3-3 tie. Matt Holliday homered with one out and Yadier Molina had an RBI double with two outs, both off Scott Atchison for the three-run cushion. On his way to third, Wigginton saw catcher John Buck chasing after the ball "and obviously home plate was going to be open. So I took a chance." Wigginton has two consecutive hits as a pinch hitter after a 1 for 12 start. He said the decision to keep running didnt need input from third base coach Jose Oquendo. "The plays in front of me," Wigginton said. "So I believe youre probably your best base coach. To be honest, youre just playing baseball." Mets manager Terry Collins said Rice deflected Carpenters grounder on purpose to keep the ball in the infield, but then joined Buck in the chase to retrieve it and then was late covering the plate. "John was yelling Get the plate, get the plate," Collins said. "He was caught up in the moment." Atchison has been pitching since last year with a torn elbow ligament, and said after the game that his fingers were numb and tingling during the outing. "If I cant grip the baseball, then I cant make the ball do what I want," Atchison said. "I feel like Ive been managing it pretty good all year. Today, for whatever reason, the tingling came back." Daniel Murphy had three hits with a two-run double for the Mets, busting out of a 7-for-54 slump with one RBI the previous 14 games. The Mets have dropped four straight. Lynn threw a career-high 124 pitches, topping his previous high exactly one year ago in a loss to the Braves. Three relievers worked the last two innings with Edward Mujica earning his 10th save in 10 chances. Lynn threw 54 pitches and Mets starter Jeremy Hefner needed 46 the first two innings in a game tied at 3, a distinct change after three straight days of pitching brilliance. Colorados Jorge De La Rosa carried a no-hitter into the seventh Sunday, the Cardinals Adam Wainwright went 7 2-3 innings before his no-hit bid ended Saturday and St. Louis rookie Shelby Miller retired the final 27 hitters after allowing a leadoff hit on Friday. Three of the first four batters reached against Hefner including Allen Craigs RBI double just inside the third-base line for the lead and Jon Jay added a bases-loaded sacrifice fly that barely counted when Matt Holliday sprinted home just ahead of third baseman David Wrights tag on Craig, attempting to advance on left fielder Lucas Dudas throw. Murphy tied it in the second with a two-run double, a liner that right fielder Carlos Beltran lost running out of the shadows into a patch of sunlight in right. Murphy scored from second on an infield hit after shortstop Daniel Descalso could not handle Wrights slow roller and the ball rolled free. Notes: LHP John Gast makes his major league debut for the Cardinals in place of injured Jake Westbrook on Tuesday night against Dillon Gee (2-4, 5.55). Gast was 3-1 with a 1.16 ERA at Triple-A Memphis and began the year with 32 consecutive scoreless innings. ... Chris Carpenter, all but ruled out for the season in February due to nerve issues in his shoulder, threw another bullpen session Monday and remained on track in his bid to return as a reliever, but theres no specific timetable. "When he puts his mind to something and his body co-operates, we know what kind of talent he has." ... Descalso got his third start at SS for St. Louis. ...

Seth Rollins?by pinfall (25:07)Just weeks after completing a turn away from his successful heel persona, Seth Rollins received his baby face initiation on Sunday night at WWE Clash of Champions.Kevin Owens successfully defended the WWE Universal championship for the first time following a chaotic finish in which the referee was knocked out and Owens storyline best friend?Chris Jericho?constantly interfered -- the kind of match Rollins had on a fairly frequent basis as part of The Authority.Rollins saw his character on the opposite side of the political line on Sunday, just as he was on Aug. 29, when?Triple H?emerged from the crowd to deliver a Pedigree to Rollins and help?Owens to victory in a Fatal 4-Way match for the Universal championship -- a title vacated by an injured?Finn Bálor.The main event of Raws first exclusive pay-per-view since WWEs July brand split, held at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, failed to fully live up to its expectations as the first televised singles match between Owens and Rollins since their days in Ring of Honor. There might still be miles to go with these two, but the wild finish and well-timed high spots throughout certainly made for exciting television.Triple H was conspicuously absent Sunday, just as he has been on Raw since his sudden return to change the landscape. Its left a gaping hole in the storyline. His wife, Raw commissioner?Stephanie McMahon, planted a seed for where the storyline is headed next by waiting just long enough to send a replacement referee to ringside to replace an incapacitated official. That allowed Jericho enough time to interfere and turn the tide of the match.After the distraction of the new referee diverted Rollinss attention, Owens landed his finishing move -- the pop-up powerbomb -- to steal the victory as McMahon walked up the ramp with a smirk on her face.ddddddddddddFor as little buzz as the seemingly fatigued Indianapolis crowd showed throughout the main event, they perked up just in time late in the match -- dropping in a This is awesome! following the turning point that ushered in the chaos that led to the end of the match.Owens laid Rollins out on the announce table before yelling an obscenity at the referee and performing a Degeneration X-style crotch chop to incite the crowd. He then missed a running senton that sent him crashing through the announcers ringside table.Jericho came down to ringside wearing an Owens T-shirt and immediately became a distraction. After Rollins landed a Pedigree (complete with a DX chop of his own to return to the favor), Jericho broke up the pin by placing Owens leg onto the ropes.Moments later, after the referee was inadvertently knocked down, Jericho entered the ring to deliver punishment more directly. Rollins broke free, however, landing back-to-back suicide dives on Owens and Jericho on opposite sides of the ring and setting the finish into motion.The match featured a running commentary of trash talk from Owens, who at one point yelled at Rollins, The architect? You dont even have a foundation. Im the foundation of this company. He also added, After tonight, youre going to fade to black. Get it? and repeated the reference to Rollins independent wrestling identity (Tyler Black) several times over. He continued to target Rollins surgically repaired knee, with the former champion selling the injury throughout.The best spot of the match happened early on, when Rollins was backdropped over the top rope -- landing hard on the floor as he grabbed his knee. Owens followed with a vicious flying elbow on top of him before yelling at him, Its my time.For the time being, at least, that certainly seems to be the case.Note: For recaps and ratings of all the WWE Backlash matches, click here.?
