Surging Mets top Indians in 10th
NEW YORK — J.D. Davis lined an RBI single with two outs that capped a two-run rally in the 10th inning, and the New York Mets, helped moments earlier by a huge Cleveland mental lapse, beat the Indians 4-3 on Wednesday night.
All-Star reliever Brad Hand’s failure to cover first base on a potential game-ending double-play grounder cost Cleveland. Davis made the Indians pay with his first career game-ending hit.

BREWERS 5, CARDINALS 3: Mike Moustakas homered and Keston Hiura drove in a pair of runs to lead Milwaukee to a win over host St. Louis in a rain-shortened game. The game was stopped after 7½ innings and made official following a rain delay of 66 minutes.
