NEW YORK -- For a team thats historically been known for pitching, speed and defense, these St. Louis Cardinals sure are hitting a lot of home runs lately.Especially Jedd Gyorko.Gyorko connected again, launching a two-run drive off Noah Syndergaard that sent the Cardinals over the New York Mets 3-2 Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader.Gyorko homered for the sixth time in eight games, giving him 13 this season.Hes amazing. Hes doing a great job, manager Mike Matheny said. Hes an interesting player. I dont think people realize how good he is.The Cardinals lead the NL in home runs with 137, matching last years total. The last time they led the league was 1998, the Elias Sports Bureau said, when Mark McGwire hit 70 of their 223.No one on the Cardinals is among the league leaders in home runs, but eight players have reached double digits.We have a lot of guys with 20-plus potential, Matheny said. Not every team can say that.St. Louis has homered in 16 straight games, its best streak since a team-record 19-game string in 2006.The Mets played at home for the first time since the All-Star break and lost in a matchup of NL wild-card contenders. Citi Field was nearly empty at the start, a day after a rainout forced the twinbill.New York lost despite throwing out three runners on the bases and manager Terry Collins winning a pair of replay challenges. The Mets have alternated wins and losses for the last 11 games.I dont know how many times I got to say it, this is crunch time, Collins said. Say whatever you want, this is the time where we got to win games, string them together, win eight out of 10.Carlos Martinez (10-6) gave up a two-run homer to Rene Rivera and left after the fifth inning with a 3-2 lead. Three relievers finished, with Seung Hwan Oh getting his fifth save in six chances.Curtis Granderson led off the Mets ninth with a single but was thrown out trying to tag up on Yoenis Cespedes drive that Tommy Pham caught in deep center field.Syndergaard (9-5) has won only one of his last five starts. The All-Star had a tough sequence in the second -- he got hit in the lower right leg by Phams one-hop single to load the bases, then made a wild, off-balance throw home on Martinezs comebacker to let a run score.Gyorko was hitless in his previous 10 at-bats when he connected in the third.The Cardinals opened a 10-game trip that also takes them to Miami and Cincinnati. They arrived at their New York hotel around 8:30 a.m. Monday after plane trouble, and the rainout gave them some much-needed rest.This was the Cardinals second doubleheader in a week, and their first against the Mets since 1999.26TH MANThe Cardinals recalled RHP Sam Tuivailala as the 26th player for the second game. Hes made three relief appearances for St. Louis this year. The Mets brought up 27-year-old lefty Josh Smoker -- hes made 43 relief appearance for Triple-A Las Vegas, and has never been in the majors.UP NEXTCardinals: LHP Jaime Garcia (7-6, 3.98) pitches Game 2. He is 2-1 with a 1.29 ERA in five career starts against the Mets. Thats his lowest ERA vs. any opponent.Mets: RHP Bartolo Colon (8-5, 3.48) faces the Cardinals in the second game. He went 0-2 with a 15.58 ERA against them last year. Air Max Plus Saldi Sconti .

It turns out Robert Quinn only needed to hydrate.The Rams defensive end suffered a scare shortly after the team returned to Los Angeles on Sunday night, admitting himself to a local hospital early Monday morning with what was described as a non-football-related illness.TMZ released audio of a 911 call in which a woman who described herself as Quinns mother-in-law said Quinn was shaking and potentially suffering from a seizure. But Quinn was discharged from the hospital in less than a day, and he was a full participant in practice by Friday.He claimed he was told to just drink more water.Thats what I took from the whole thing, Quinn told reporters after Fridays practice. Drink more water -- and often, at that.Hints of a possible seizure are especially troubling for Quinn, who was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor during his senior year of high school and still undergoes biannual checkups. But both Quinn and Rams coach Jeff Fisher stated that the recent issue was unrelated.Quinn is listed as questionable?for Sundays home game against the Miami Dolphins. A league source told ESPNs Adam Schefter that Quinn is expected to play.Quinn said on Friday that the decision is going to come down to the doctors, Fisher, and ultimately how I feel. Hopefully I can get out there on Sunday and be somewhat productive.Also in question is the status of center Tim Barnes, who injured his foot on Sunday, did not practice all week and is also listed as questionable.dddddddddddd If thats the case, Demetrius Rhaney would probably start his second career NFL game and snap the ball to No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff in his debut.The Dolphins, winners of four straight, will likely be without two of their starting offensive linemen in center Mike Pouncey (hip) and left tackle Branden Albert (wrist).Rams defensive end Eugene Sims (concussion) and cornerback Lamarcus Joyner (ankle) are also listed as questionable, though they were each full participants on Friday. Running back Todd Gurley (thigh) was limited Friday and is also questionable, but he didnt show up on the injury report at any other point this week.Quinn has been around the team since Tuesday morning and teammates have not noticed anything different. Fellow defensive end William Hayes drove Quinn back from the hospital on Monday night and said all he wanted was some sweet tea.It appears the worst is behind him.It kind of just overwhelmed me, said Quinn, who took 82 percent of the defensive snaps in Sundays 9-6 win over the New York Jets. It really just surprised me. Happened so fast; didnt really have a lot of time to think about it. Just dealt with it when I realized what was going on; kept on moving forward. ' ' '
