Cabrera’s RISP woes can now RIP

IT FINALLY happened for Asdrubal Cabrera. The Mets shortstop finally got a hit with a runner in scoring position on Tuesday, snapping an 0-for-32 skid with RISP when his third-inning double in Game 2 of the doubleheader split with St. Louis drove in Alejandro De Aza from third base and tied the game.

“I’ve been waiting for that for a long time,” Cabrera said.

Cabrera added a sacrifice fly in the fifth.

“It really gets a big monkey off his back, for sure, and it was a big hit that we needed,” Terry Collins said of Cabrera snapping the streak. “He’s a pretty level-headed guy, I think of course he took a lot of ribbing. But he’s a pro. In this market, you’re going to be reminded every day that you’re 0-forwhatever with runners in scoring position. So I’m sure he’s relieved. But you can’t help but think about it, because it’s brought to your attention a lot.

THOR’S MISSTEP

Noah Syndergaard gave up three runs (two earned) in six innings on seven hits, three walks and eight strikeouts while taking the loss in Game 1, in part because of a throwing error he made in the second inning.

Syndergaard (9-5) fell while attempting to throw Yadier Molina out at home with the bases loaded on a dribbler by Carlos Martinez — who gave up two runs in five innings — and bounced a throw to Rene Rivera, who cut the three-run deficit to one in the fourth inning of Game 1 with a tworun homer.

“I think it was just a tough play,” Syndergaard said. “I fell to the ground on that one, wasn’t very athletic out there.”
