NEW YORK - Scott Rolen hit an RBI double with two outs in the eighth inning, sending the St. Louis Cardinals to a 1-0 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday night.

Jeff Suppan, Cal Eldred and Steve Kline combined on a four-hitter, St. Louis' third shutout of the season.

After Suppan and Steve Trachsel matched zeros most of the night, Tony Womack led off the eighth with a single off Mike Stanton (0-1).

Edgar Renteria reached on a fielder's choice, then stole second with two outs. Rolen followed with a shot into the left-center gap off Ricky Bottalico.

Eldred (1-0) pitched two hitless innings and Kline worked a perfect ninth for his first save - one night after closer Jason Isringhausen blew a save in a 5-4 loss.

New York (19-21) failed to reach .500 for the first time since April 16, when it was 5-5.

Trachsel allowed five hits in seven scoreless innings, struck out four and walked one. Suppan allowed four hits in six shutout innings, striking out three and walking one.

Diamondbacks 6, Braves 4, 11 innings

ATLANTA - Luis Gonzalez hit his second homer of the game in the 11th inning and Steve Finley followed with another solo shot for Arizona.

The Braves, who had gone 18 innings without a run, scored four times in the eighth, capped by Julio Franco's two-run homer. The 45-year-old Franco broke his own record for the oldest player to homer as a pinch-hitter.

Cubs 4, Giants 3, 10 innings

CHICAGO - Moises Alou crossed up his dad's strategy and homered in the bottom of the 10th inning to give Chicago the victory.
