CHICAGO -- Jeurys Familia lost control, but not the lead, and kept the Mets ahead and his consecutive save streak intact.New Yorks closer escaped a bases-loaded jam with a game-ending double play after Rene Rivera drove in the tiebreaking run with two outs in the top of the ninth, lifting New York over the Chicago Cubs 2-1 on Tuesday night.Familia walked Addison Russell and Miguel Montero to start the ninth, then Javier Baez reached on a bunt single when third baseman Jose Reyes threw wide to first. Pinch-hitter Matt Szczur hit a grounder to first baseman James Loney, and Loney threw out Russell at the plate.Kris Bryant then hit into a 5-4-3 double play to give Familia his 33rd save in 33 chances this season and 49th straight dating to Aug. 1, 2015.I just always try in a situation like that, to throw my sinker down and let them make contact with a groundball and believe in myself, Familia said. I just try to believe and think I can do it.Familias teammates kept their cool, tooI know Familia is going to do it, catcher Rivera said. I know he has been there before. After the first couple of batters, I went out there and gave him support.Rivera had the third single in the ninth -- following hits by Loney and Asdrubal Cabrera -- off Hector Rondon (1-2) as the Mets beat the Cubs for the fifth time in six games after sweeping them in last years NL Championship Series.Hansel Robles (4-3) pitched two scoreless innings in relief for the win.All-Star right-handers Jake Arrieta of the Cubs and Noah Syndergaard of the Mets returned to dominant form in no decisions.Arrieta retired 14 of the first 15 Mets hitters, including 12 straight following Yoenis Cespedes single in the first. He allowed one run and struck out eight in seven innings, his longest outing since June 11. Last years NL Cy Young Award winner got back on track after allowing four or more earned runs in three consecutive starts for the first time since 2012.That was a little more like it, Arrieta said. I was really aggressive in the strike zone and I was using my off-speed pretty much throughout the whole game.Syndergaard gave up one unearned run on seven hits through 5 2/3 innings. He struck out eight before being replaced by Jerry Blevins after throwing 105 pitches.Syndergaard had his velocity early, reaching 100 mph in the first inning, and was able to escape jams in the first and second. He left in the fifth inning of his previous start, on July 8, with arm fatigue after allowing three runs in a loss to Washington.It was great to come in here and squeeze out a win against their ace, Syndergaard said. My arm felt really loose and fluid even later in the game.New Yorks Michael Conforto made his first start, in right field, since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday and went 0 for 3. He had pinch-hit on Monday and singled.Arrieta doubled with two out in the fourth, then was thrown out at the plate when he tried to score on Tommy La Stellas single. At first, Arrieta was ruled safe by umpire Eric Cooper, but he was called out following a video review.CONFORTO FACTORMets manager Terry Collins is concerned about overloading Conforto too soon after his recall, so he started the 23-year-old in right field and Curtis Granderson in center on Tuesday with the wind blowing in at Wrigley Field. Conforto may see time in center in the future, though.Conforto got off to a nice start with the Mets but was sent down on June 25 after a prolonged slump.This kid got sent out because he wasnt hitting, Collins said before the game. He gets his swing back and comes up and the first thing that hits him in the face is to play center field. So were going to ease him into it.RIGHT ANGLEBoth Collins and Chicago manager Joe Maddon loaded their starting lineups with lefties against two of the majors premier right-handed starters.Maddon called out the split against Syndergaard as enormously different. Righties entered hitting .210 against him, lefties were batting .282. Against Arrieta, righties were hitting .182, lefties were at .215.TRAINERS ROOMMets: The team said RHP Matt Harvey was resting comfortably after having season-ending surgery for thoracic outlet surgery in St. Louis on Monday.Cubs: All-Star 2B Ben Zobrist batted fourth after getting two days off. ... OFs Dexter Fowler (right hamstring strain) and Jorge Soler (left hamstring strain) had the start of their rehab stints at Triple-A pushed back a day when the Iowa Cubs were rained out. Maddon said both were close to returning, but he didnt know exactly.UP NEXTRHP Bartolo Colon (8-4, 3.11) squares off against Chicago RHP Kyle Hendricks (8-6, 2.41) in the series finale on Wednesday afternoon. Hendricks allowed just three hits in six shutout innings in his last start against Texas on Friday and has a 1.70 ERA in his last 11 outings. Paul LaDue Jersey .

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Under Bill Belichick the New England Patriots have, in many ways, mastered the art of getting headlining performances out of understudies.Hell have to pull off his magic again if the Patriots are going to keep their early season momentum.New England improved to 21-1 at home against the AFC East since 2009 with its 31-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. But it also left with yet another quarterback issue to resolve after Jimmy Garoppolo had a Tom Brady-light performance halted by a right shoulder injury.Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins find themselves at 0-2 under first-year coach Adam Gase, despite discovering some late-game traction on offense that had been missing in their season-opening loss at Seattle.Garoppolo threw for three touchdowns in three drives before being driven hard into the ground by linebacker Kiko Alonso on a second-quarter pass play. The injury looked bad, with Garoppolo barely able to move his shoulder as he walked off the field.This game is a 100 percent injury rate, receiver Julian Edelman said. Its football and everyones just gotta do their job a little bit better.The Patriots have yet to say much about Garoppolos injury, but its possible the final two starts before Brady returns from his Deflategate suspension could fall to rookie Jacoby Brissett. Theyll have to figure it out in a hurry before Thursday nights matchup with the Texans.Other observations from Dolphins-Patriots:RESILIENT DOLPHINS: The Dolphins dug out of a 31-3 hole with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. They had a chance to tie in the closing seconds before Ryan Tannehill was intercepted in the end zone.Tannehill , 0-5 against the Patriots in Foxborough, believed they can build on that this week as they head home to host Cleveland after two road losses.He said it starts with not overthinking things.Just make the plays that are there, Tannehill said. We had some opportunities. ... We just have to make those plays early in the game and I have confidence in those guys that we will get it done.HISTORICAL REFERENCE: New England last had to make an injury-related adjustment at quarterback in 2008 when Brady suffered a knee injury in the Patriots opener. With backup Matt Cassel, the Patriots went 11-5, but failed to make the playoffs.The downtime without Brady this time will be much shorter, but the minddset for the Patriots is pretty much the same as it was then.dddddddddddd Edelman said the same work put in getting on the same page with Garoppolo must now transfer to Brissett.Its always frustrating to lose any player on any position. Unfortunately thats part of this game, Edelman said.BRISSETTS CONFIDENCE: Brissett didnt seem consumed by the moment with Garoppolo going down.After the defense forced a fumble, he led New England on its final scoring drive, a five-play, 68-yard series that gave the Patriots a 31-10 cushion.The guys did a good job of staying calm, he said. When the opportunity comes, you gotta be ready for it.STARTING SLOWLY: The Dolphins limited New England to a single second-half touchdown, which probably had a lot to do with Garoppolo getting knocked out of the game. But that doesnt fully explain why the Miami offense started clicking after halftime -- a little too late.After getting two first downs and 34 net yards on five possessions that ended in four punts and a fumble, the Dolphins began to move at the same time the Patriots began to struggle. A 77-yard drive led to a field goal at the end of the second quarter, and Miami also drove to touchdowns on three straight possessions in the second half.I need to figure out a way to get our guys in rhythm earlier, Gase said. The second half of us being able to get up on the ball and go, get completions and run the ball, those types of things . thats what we need to do in the first half.RETURNING RECEIVER: The return of DeVante Parker gave the Dolphins offense a boost. The Miami receiver made his 2016 debut after missing the opener with a hamstring injury. Parker caught eight passes for 106 yards against the Patriots.DeVantes a great football player, Tannehill said. You see some of the plays he made -- the one handed catch on the takeoff -- so were just scratching the surface with him. Hes going to be a big-time player for us. We just have to keep him healthy and on the field.Parker had five catches for 106 yards and a touchdown in a season-ending victory over New England on Jan. 3.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping China NFL Gear Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Jerseys Jerseys From China ' ' '
