Pit-stopping Mets rally, then recover
Barry Zito, who threw 26 pitches before getting an out, settled down after the first five hitters reached safely, retiring 12 in a row. But the Cardinals chased him with two runs in the fifth.
San Francisco's Aaron Rowand broke up the shutout with a two-run homer just over wall in left in the seventh.
