Baseball Betting Lines

04/21/2009 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rick Ankiel finished with three hits and doubled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, as the St. Louis Cardinals bested the New York Mets, 6-4, in the opener of a three-game series at Busch Stadium.

Yadier Molina also had three hits while Albert Pujols doubled in a pair for St. Louis, which had lost two of three to the Cubs in a rain-shortened series over the weekend.

Jason Motte (1-1) recorded the final two outs in the eighth to pick up the win, and Ryan Franklin set down New York in order in the ninth for his third save of the season.

Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran and David Wright each had two hits and an RBI in the loss, which was credited to J.J. Putz (1-1) for his one-inning, two-run relief effort. The Mets were coming off a 3-3 homestand, their first at Citi Field.

Neither starter factored into the decision, with St. Louis' Todd Wellemeyer lasting five innings, allowing four runs on 10 hits, and New York's Oliver Perez surrendering four runs on six hits and five walks in 4 2/3 frames.
