WILLIAMSPORT Authentic Greg Joseph Jersey , Pa. (AP) ¡ª to fans from the on-deck circle, just like major league teams never line up after a game and shake hands.Put a big league game in a tiny park full of 11 and 12 year olds, though, and those kinds of customs get tossed aside.Amed Rosario had three hits and drove in three runs, and the New York Mets went from cheering on players in the Little League World Series to impressing the youngsters in an 8-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday night.Jeff McNeil added a two-run single to back Vargas (3-8) as the Mets claimed the second Little League Classic and prevented the Phillies from moving into first place in the NL East. Philadelphia dropped into a three-way tie for the top NL wild card.¡°I had some cool interactions with the kids,¡± Vargas said of his in-game dialogue. ¡°They were having a great time.¡±Carlos Santana hit a two-run homer for the Phillies, but Nick Pivetta (7-10) allowed six runs in 3 2/3 innings in Philadelphia¡¯s seventh loss in 11 games.After the final out, players lined up across the diamond for a postgame tradition for kids that¡¯s never seen in the majors.¡°I thought the handshaking gesture was huge,¡± Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. ¡°It¡¯s something I experienced for the first time since I was in Little League.¡±Players and families from the 16 teams competing in the nearby LLWS packed into 2,500-seat Bowman Field, the 92-year-old home of the Phillies¡¯ Class A affiliate in the New York-Penn League.And the spotlight shined on New York¡¯s Todd Frazier and Michael Conforto and Philadelphia¡¯s Scott Kingery, who are among 54 players who reached the majors after playing in the LLWS.¡°Pretty surreal because I walked into the dugout and they were getting ready to play a game and one of them was like, ¡®Whoa, that¡¯s Scott Kingery!'¡± said the rookie infielder, who doubled in the fifth. ¡°That¡¯s crazy, because I remember when I was sitting in that dugout.¡±Frazier Myles Garrett Jersey Elite , who sparked a four-run second with a leadoff single, helped Toms River, New Jersey, win the 1998 title when he led off the game with a home run and struck out the final batter.¡°It¡¯s been a long day, but well worth it,¡± said Frazier, who hadn¡¯t been back to Williamsport since 1999. ¡°I kept telling these kids, let it all sink in.¡±The Mets built a 6-0 lead in the fourth to take the five-game series and improve to 8-5 against the Phillies, who dropped a half-game behind division-leading Atlanta.The teams flew 185 miles Sunday morning from Philadelphia, where the first four games were played. They were met by youth players at the airport, then bused to the Little League complex.¡°We were driving through the city and people were coming out of their homes and waving to us,¡± Mets manager Mickey Callaway said.While watching the kids play, Mets ace Jacob deGrom interviewed some for TV. Santana took selfies with the youngsters. Phillies outfielder Rhys Hoskins chased down Little Leaguer and internet sensation Alfred ¡°Big Al¡± Delia.¡°We share a common love, hitting dingers,¡± Hoskins said.Hoskins narrowly missed homering with a long foul in the third and a single off the wall in the sixth against Vargas, who entered with an 8.10 ERA.Santana followed with his 18th homer http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/myles-garrett-jerse y , and Vargas was lifted after allowing two runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings.Rosario had a two-run single in the second, chased Pivetta with a single in the fourth and added a sixth-inning RBI single.The Little League teams were introduced, in full uniform, before the game. They danced between innings, ate plenty of ice cream and watched the lowly Mets collect 14 hits.¡°Some of them are stepping into America for the first time ever and they get to see a Major League Baseball game. I think that¡¯s pretty cool,¡± Frazier said. ¡°And that one kid who¡¯s never been here before, you want to show them the right way to play and how exciting it is and how great it is.¡±NEXT YEARCommissioner Rob Manfred announced the Cubs will face the Pirates in next year¡¯s Williamsport game on Aug. 18.HAPPY ADDITIONSTwo of the more excited players were Phillies C Andrew Knapp and Mets 1B Dominic Smith, who were recalled from the minors. Each team could add a 26th player because it was a neutral site game.¡°A tremendous experience,¡± said Smith, who had an RBI double in the eighth.Knapp purchased a West regional Little League cap. The California native fell a couple wins shy of reaching LLWS when he was a kid.¡°I didn¡¯t get one when I was 11, so I had to get one now,¡± he said.TRAINER¡¯S ROOMMets: Brandon Nimmo (left index finger) was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game. ¡­ 3B David Wright (shoulder, back) ended an 0-for-14 rehab skid by going 2 for 3 for Class A St. Lucie while playing five innings in the field. ¡­ OF Jay Bruce (left hip) went 2 for 5 as the DH for St. Lucie.Phillies: RHP Jerad Eickhoff (right lat) allowed one run and three hits in 4 2/3 innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.UP NEXTMets: RHP Zack Wheeler (8-6, 3.75 ERA) opposes San Francisco LHP Derek Holland (6-8, 3.83) on Monday night in New York.Phillies: RHP Vince Velasquez (8-9, 4.13) faces Nationals RHP Tanner Roark on Tuesday night to open a three-game series at Washington. Few starters in baseball have needed as little cushion this year as St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas. Monday night¡¯s 11-6 victory in Atlanta upped his record to 16-0 when receiving two or more runs of support.Mikolas gets the call Sunday when St. Louis tries to bolster its National League wild-card playoff hopes with a series sweep of the San Francisco Giants in Busch Stadium.St. Louis leads Colorado by 1 1/2 games for the final wild-card spot. The Cardinals also edged within two games of Milwaukee for the first wild-card and are 4 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs for the NL Central lead.Article continues below ...Mikolas (16-4 Authentic Myles Garrett Jersey , 3.01 ERA) has been perhaps the best value signing of the offseason. Skepticism abounded when the Cardinals (86-69) inked him to a two-year, $15.5 million deal after three successful seasons in Japan. After all, Mikolas looked like bottom of the staff material while posting a 6.44 ERA in10 starts in 2014 with Texas.But Mikolas has surprised the skeptics, averaging just over six innings a start and making every turn in the rotation. He has fewer walks (29) than starts (30) and could lead the NL in wins if he winds up on the upside of his last two starts.¡°I¡¯ve been fortunate than when I pitch, we have great offense and we¡¯ve put up runs and we play great defense and everything has come together,¡± Mikolas said to mlb.com after his victory in Atlanta. ¡°It¡¯s been a great season for me.¡±Mikolas will make his fifth career appearance against San Francisco, although it will be his first as a starter. He has no record and a 1.69 ERA in 5 1/3 innings.St. Louis pulled out a dramatic 5-4, 10-inning victory Saturday over San Francisco to move one step closer to its first playoff spot since 2015. Yadier Molina¡¯s two-run homer in the seventh inning erased a 4-2 deficit and Tyler O¡¯Neill¡¯s tape-measure blast with two outs in the 10th supplied the Cardinals their 11th walk-off win of the year.San Francisco (72-83) has nothing left on its plate beside contractual obligation and statistical incentives. The Giants have battled the Cardinals hard in the series¡¯ first two games, but their bullpen has let them down, as has often been the case this year.Rookie left-hander Andrew Suarez (7-11, 4.24 ERA) takes the ball for San Francisco, looking to build on two straight quality starts. Suarez picked up a 4-2 win on Monday night in San Diego, working 7 2/3 innings and allowing two runs and four hits with three walks and four strikeouts. This will be his first career outing against the Cardinals.St. Louis second baseman Kolten Wong, who left Friday night¡¯s game after seven innings after he suffered cramps in both hamstrings, could be available for Sunday¡¯s game.
