NY Post: Mets blow, then save Harvey gem in marathon win over Cards. "Harvey wasn’t around at the end but he got better, got stronger as he progressed through eight scoreless innings, working with just one run of support. But after closer Jeurys Familia blew the save, the rest of the bullpen made like Harvey and the Mets managed a 2-1 victory in 14 innings over the Cardinals at Citi Field...Cards reliever Sam Tuivailala (L,0-1) walked Campbell and Duda and gave way to closer Trevor Rosenthal, who got a forceout from Michael Cuddyer before intentionally walking Daniel Murphy to load the bases. That set up Mayberry’s first-pitch hit, which Jhonny Peralta gloved with a dive but could not get home in time.

Newsday: "The Mets, weary after 4 hours, 14 minutes, spilled out onto the field. After his first walk-off hit as a member of the Mets, Mayberry wound up in the grasp of backup catcher Anthony Recker. 'It's awesome,' said Mayberry, who was hitting .114 at the start of the night. 'I think Recker took me halfway into rightfield.'"

The win extended the Mets 1st Place lead to one full game over the idle Nationals.
