CHICAGO -- Jeurys Familia lost control, but not the lead, and kept the Mets ahead and his consecutive save streak intact. Mike Conley Jersey .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. John Konchar Jersey . Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury. Mike Bibby Jersey . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. https://www.cheapgrizzlies.com/ . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said.CALGARY -- The health of Drew Tate is in question again. After overcoming an injury-riddled 2012 season, the Calgary Stampeders quarterback is dealing with another injury -- a strained forearm muscle in his throwing arm this time. Tate was on the field for Mondays practice at McMahon Stadium. He worked on his footwork, but did not throw the football. Head coach and general manager John Hufnagel said Tates status was day-to-day. The coach wasnt sure Tate would be able to play Friday in Montreal against the Alouettes. "We have to let it settle down," Hufnagel said. "Well see how long it will take to get him back on the field throwing. Calgary and Montreal both started the season 1-1. Tate did not finish Friday nights 36-21 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, leaving with about five minutes remaining. Veteran backup Kevin Glenn cleaned up in Regina, while Tate stood on the sidelines with an ice pack on his arm. "Theres a little pain there, but well see tomorrow, see how it feels," Tate said following Mondays practice. "Am I confident I will be able to play in Montreal? Im confident if I am called upon to play, I will play very confidently. If they tell me to go in there, Im going to fire that ball." Tates first full season as Calgarys No. 1 pivot in 2012 was interrupted by injuries, starting with a separated shoulder in Week 2. Subsequent surgery and rehabilitation sidelined him for all but the final two games of the regular season. He then fractured a bone near the wrist of his throwing arm in the West Division semifinal win over Saskatchewan. Jaren Jackson Jersey. Glenn was Calgarys starter in the division final victory over the B.C. Lions and in the Grey Cup loss to the host Toronto Argonauts. Tate said he began feeling pain in his arm a month ago, but completed 19 of 27 pass attempts and threw three touchdowns in a 44-32 season-opening win over the Lions on June 28. The 27-year-old played an excellent first half in Regina. A pair of touchdown throws and 222 passing yards paced the visitors to a 21-14 lead at halftime. But Tate struggled in the second half and Stampeder penalties also aided a Saskatchewan comeback. "He was so focused and doing a great job," Stampeder offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson said of Tate. "When he was getting pain in his elbow, it took away from his mental side of the game. Hed be the first to admit it. We lost our flow and it really hurt us." Tate has become accustomed to questions about his health. "This is how it is, right? Starting quarterback goes out, everybody has to ask the questions and put it in ink," he said. Glenn compiled 4,220 yards in passing for 25 touchdowns and a completion rate of 66.7 per cent during Tates absences last year. The 34-year-old was 4-for-7 for 41 yards in relief of Tate in Regina. "If was the number one, two or three guy, Im always going to prepare as if Im going to play," Glenn said. "Ill just wait to see what happens. Im ready to go if the situation arises." ' ' '
