PHILADELPHIA -- Jonathon Niese stayed warm, and the surprising New York Mets cooled off Philadelphia. Donte Jackson Panthers Jersey . Niese pitched seven steady innings on a rainy Tuesday night and Daniel Murphy had three hits to lead New York to a 6-1 victory over the Phillies. Ruben Tejada doubled and had two RBIs for the Mets, who chased Cole Hamels in the fifth and have won seven of nine. They improved to 15-11 overall, marking the first time New York has been four games over .500 since July 14, 2012. "Conditions are really tough and Jon just keeps cruising along," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "You have to be pretty impressed with the way hes going about it. He used all of his pitches. It seemed like he had good command of his curveball even though it was wet. ... He went out and pitched another great game." Marlon Byrd homered and Ryan Howard had two hits with a double for Philadelphia, which lost for only the third time in nine games. The start was delayed by rain for 1 hour, 28 minutes, and the temperature at first pitch was a chilly 46 degrees. Many in the announced crowd of 28,189 who braved the cold were dressed more appropriately for a Philadelphia Eagles football game in December, with hooded sweat shirts, winter coats and wool blankets. There was a misty rain for the first 2 1/2 innings before heavy rain began to fall in the bottom of the third. The rain tapered off to a drizzle before becoming heavy again in the seventh. The weather hardly affected Niese (2-2), who didnt allow a hit until Byrds two-out homer in the fourth. The left-hander gave up four hits while striking out five and walking one. "It was another cold one," Niese said, "but it seems like the more I pitch in cold weather, the more I figure out how to stay warm." Niese sat near a heater in the Mets dugout and kept his hands in his jacket pockets, which contained hand warmers. While on the mound, Niese said he made sure to move around constantly rather than stand still. "I was able to effectively throw my pitches," he said. Said Murphy, "He threw the ball great. It was a treat to watch from second base." Hamels (0-2) struggled in his first home start of the season, allowing six runs on eight hits with five walks and a hit batter in 4 2-3 innings. Seeking his 100th career victory, Hamels lost the strike zone in the fourth when he walked four batters, including Niese with the bases loaded, as the Mets took a 3-0 lead. Hamels was making his second start of the season after opening on the disabled list due to left biceps tendinitis. The leftys ERA rose to 6.75 as he dropped to 2-8 in his last 10 home starts against the Mets. Murphy had a two-out RBI single in the third, and Josh Satin singled home a run in the fourth. "Ive never seen Cole be that erratic, and Im sure a lot of that was the conditions," Collins said. "Its early in the year and he missed a lot of spring training. Hell be fine, Im sure." Hamels said the conditions made it difficult to pitch but blamed himself for not being able to adjust better. "The elements got the best of me today," he said. "From my standpoint, Im truly embarrassed because I didnt really give anyone a chance." Hamels said a lack of perspiration made gripping the ball difficult. "When youre able to perspire, youre able to get certain types of grips with the baseball," he said, before joking: "Today might have been the day to use pine tar, but unfortunately I dont do that. It might have been the day to learn. It was difficult to throw the baseball and difficult to throw strikes. You have to be able to battle out there, and I wasnt able to do it." Byrds homer pulled the Phillies to 3-1, but New York chased Hamels when it got an RBI double from Chris Young and a two-run single from Tejeda to make it 6-1 in the fifth. NOTES: Mets starters have given up more than three runs once in the last 13 games. ... Murphy extended his hitting streak to 10 games. ... Mets RHP Bartolo Colon (2-3, 4.50 ERA) is scheduled to face RHP Kyle Kendrick (0-2, 3.52) in the conclusion of the two-game series Wednesday night. ... During the rain delay, the Phillies showed Game 6 of the NHL playoff series between the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers on the scoreboard and rang the bell in centre field traditionally rung for home runs when Wayne Simmonds scored a first-period goal to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead.

Ian Thomas Jersey . -- The road to the Masters got off to a bumpy start Sunday for Tiger Woods when he withdrew from the Honda Classic with what he said was a lower back injury. http://www.thepanthersofficialstore.com/authentic-da-norris-searcy-panthers-jersey/ . The hard-serving 22-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., became the first Canadian to be ranked in the Top 10 on the ATP World Tour thanks to his runner-up performance at Rogers Cup in Montreal.STOCKHOLM - Russians Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov won gold at the European Figure Skating Championships on Sunday, heading a Russian sweep of the event.Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov took silver and Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov won bronze in their debut at the Europeans.Kavaguti and Smirnov opened the pairs strongly with a triple-triple and raised the technical level even further with a clean throw quad Salchow.At last, we did what we have to do, what we can do, Kavaguti said.The free skate to excerpts from Tchaikovskys Manfred Symphony combined melodrama with a moment of comedy as the skaters appear to quarrel, Kavaguti turns away with a spurning gesture and Smirnov stomps in frustration with an exaggerated grimace.The symphony is performed in concert relatively rarely and Kavaguti admitted that she initially disliked it, but that coach Tamara Moskvina pushed for it.Now, she said, Its me ... I dont need to put on some mask.Stolbova and Klimov, the Olympic silver medallists , were in first place after the short program but their free skate was troubled almost from the start, with spins and jumps out of synchronization. Rashaan Gaulden Panthers Jersey. The problems culminated near the programs close, when Klimov, skating behind Stolbova with hands on her shoulders, caught a toe pick and fell heavily.It was the worst skate of the season, he said. Theres not a lot of joy about the medal.Adding to the frustration was his uncertainty about why things went bad. There is no reason. Everything was good in practice and before, he said.Tarasova and Morozov had started the day in fifth, but moved up due to their own strong skating and the errors of the intervening pairs, notably when Frances Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres abandoned a lift attempt.Starting in fifth place was something of an advantage for the Russians.We felt a lot calmer today, as we had nothing to lose, Tarasova said. We werent nervous and we managed to do nearly everything we set out to do.The pairs podium sweep was the championships second for Russia. Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Elena Radionova and Anna Pogorilaya won the womens medals a day earlier.
