NEW YORK -- Zack Wheeler is still learning how to harness his 95 mph heat. In the meantime, he and the Mets keep winning. Wheeler beat the first-place Atlanta Braves for the second time in seven major league starts, and John Buck drove in three runs for New York in a 7-4 victory Thursday. Although he had trouble throwing consistent strikes again, Wheeler (4-1) fought through a difficult first inning that included three strikeouts with runners in scoring position. Since the day he was called up from the minors, the Mets (45-53) are 20-13. "Im starting to feel a little bit more comfortable with my mechanics. Ive just got to trust my stuff and go after guys," Wheeler said. "Ive just got to get ahead and start setting guys up. Its a lot easier when you do that." Daniel Murphy and Marlon Byrd had three hits apiece to help the Mets gain a four-game series split. But the news wasnt all good: Eric Young Jr., a spark in the leadoff spot since arriving last month, was pulled with pain in his right knee. Mets manager Terry Collins called it a strain, but Young didnt sound too worried. He said precautionary X-rays were negative and he hopes to play in Fridays day-night doubleheader at Washington. "Just playing it safe," said Young, obtained on the same day Wheeler made his debut. "We didnt want to try to push it." One day after top pitcher Tim Hudson sustained a season-ending ankle injury when Young accidentally stepped on him, the NL East-leading Braves caught another tough break. This time, it was a missed call by the umpires that helped the Mets score three times in the sixth and led to the ejection of Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez. Wheeler squandered a three-run lead by giving up homers to Dan Uggla and Freddie Freeman. But the prized rookie allowed only four hits in six innings after throwing 31 pitches in the first. He tossed six shutout innings in Atlanta to win his big league debut June 18. "Hes a work in progress. But Ill tell you one thing, everybodys right: The skys the limit with him. Hes got plus stuff. Hes tougher than people give him credit for. Hes going to be fine, but hes got to make some adjustments," Collins said. "I was very happy with the way he battled back and kept us in the game." Opponents are batting .114 (4 for 35) against Wheeler with runners in scoring position and .162 (11 for 68) with men on base. David Aardsma and LaTroy Hawkins each worked a hitless inning before Bobby Parnell closed for his 20th save in 24 tries. Freemans long homer to centre leading off the sixth tied it at 4, but Wheeler ended the inning with a double-play grounder and New York went right back ahead in the bottom half. Andrew Brown, who replaced Young in left field, opened with a double against reliever Kameron Loe (0-1) and went to third on a wild pitch. Murphy singled through a drawn-in infield to give the Mets the lead. "Guys are swinging the sticks like crazy right now. Its fun," Wheeler said. David Wright followed with a drive to left-centre that bounced up and hit the protective railing above the wall before caroming back onto the field. Center fielder Reed Johnson raised his arms, looking for the ground-rule double signal, but third base umpire Chad Fairchild ruled the ball in play. Murphy scored and Wright pulled into third with an RBI triple before Gonzalez came out to argue. He took his protest to plate umpire and crew chief Jeff Kellogg before Fairchild finally tossed him. Gonzalez headed toward the dugout, but then went back at Fairchild, now standing behind third base again. "I dont think I needed a replay to know I was right," Gonzalez said. Kellogg declined comment after the game, saying the umps had to catch a flight. Buck added a run-scoring double with two outs to make it 7-4. Young beat out an infield single to start a four-run third and scored on Byrds single. Buck hit a two-run single with two outs to put the Mets up 4-1. Acquired from Colorado in a trade, Young was very upset Wednesday night after breaking Hudsons right ankle when he inadvertently stepped on the pitcher at first base. Hudson, the leader of Atlantas strong pitching staff, will have season-ending surgery once the swelling subsides. Collins said Young "tweaked" his leg on the play, and one day later the speedy outfielder was removed in the fourth inning. Uggla trimmed it to 4-3 with a two-run shot off Wheeler in the fourth. It was Ugglas second homer in two days and 11th at Citi Field, the most by a visiting player. Wheeler threw a fastball over Ugglas head in the first, and the Atlanta second baseman glared out at the mound before saying something to Buck. "I told him, Look, you can be mad at him because he doesnt know where its going, but trust me, its not intentional," Buck said. "He said, OK, thank you."

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Just over a month after being held to single digits by an FCS team, Northwestern has solved a lot of problems offensively.Justin Jackson rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns, and the Wildcats moved the ball almost at will after a slow start, beating Michigan State 54-40 on Saturday night to hand the Spartans their fourth straight defeat.Clayton Thorson threw for 281 yards and three TDs for the Wildcats, who rallied from an early 14-0 deficit. Michigan State (2-4, 0-3 Big Ten) is now mired in its longest losing streak in coach Mark Dantonios 10 seasons at the helm.Northwestern has won three of four since starting the season with losses to Western Michigan and Illinois State. The Wildcats managed only seven points against Illinois State, but that seems like a long time ago now that theyve scored 38 against Iowa and 54 on the defending Big Ten champions.Our guys have really been grinding, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said. Earlier in the year we werent a very good team. ... We could either pout and feel sorry for ourselves and start to point fingers, or we could just stay on the grind and keep the pedal down.The Spartans hadnt lost four in a row since 2006, and this was the most points theyd allowed since a 56-21 loss to Wisconsin in 2003.Northwestern held Michigan State to 3 yards of offense in the second quarter.Theres no easy fix, Dantonio said.The Spartans made a change at quarterback for this game, starting redshirt freshman Brian Lewerke instead of Tyler OConnor, but Michigan States problems extend well beyond one position.The Spartans went back to OConnor in the third quarter, and he threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns, but Michigan State couldnt stop Northwestern (3-3, 2-1) with any consistency.Solomon Vault returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter to put the Wildcats up 40-31, and the Spartans never made it closer after that.Michigan State is off to its worst start after six games since 1994, when the Spartans were 2-4 and later forfeited away the wins.TAKEAWAYSNorthwestern: The Wildcats have to be encouraged by the ease with which they shrugged off an early deficit Saturday, and although the secondary was beaten for a couple long touchdowns in the second half, Northwestern will win itts share of games if it can keep creating big holes for Jackson.ddddddddddddIt was a good one today, but I think were just showing what we can do, Thorson said. Passing the ball, running the ball, everything.Michigan State: Dantonio shook things up by starting Lewerke at quarterback, then watched his defense give up so many yards and points it didnt really matter who was throwing passes for Michigan State. The Spartans were a mess on defense and still dont block well enough on offense to put together many sustained drives.Its almost like everybodys at a loss for words, OConnor said. We feel like weve been saying everything that we think we need to fix and working as hard as we can to fix it, and everybody understands that we need to get better.OConnor did do his best to reclaim the quarterback spot with his work late in the game.NEW FACELewerke had attempted only four passes this season before becoming the first Michigan State freshman to start at quarterback since Stephen Reaves in 2004. Lewerke opened the scoring with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Josiah Price in the first quarter, but the offense bogged down again in the second.Dantonio was noncommittal about his quarterback situation afterward.I thought both guys obviously did some good things, and both guys obviously did some things theyd like to have back, Dantonio said. So well look at it and evaluate it.TOUGH STARTMichigan State took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter when Justin Layne scored on a 43-yard interception return. That was the last touchdown the Spartans scored for a while.We knew that they were going to try and knock us out early. Their backs are against the wall, Fitzgerald said. We basically got what we expected, and it was disappointing with our start, but I really loved the way our guys responded. We didnt flinch.UP NEXTNorthwestern: The Wildcats host Indiana next weekend.Michigan State: The Spartans play at Maryland on Saturday night. If you dont count games forfeited from 1994, the last time Michigan State lost five games in a row within one season was when the Spartans dropped their first five in 1991.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Camo China NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys 2019 Cheap Jerseys 2019 Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Cheap NFL T-shirts Disocunt Football Jerseys Jerseys NFL Cheap Cheap Jerseys From China Disocunt Football Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys ' ' '
