<h3>Glavine looks to continue success vs. Cardinals</h3>



St Louis (33-40) at NY Mets (42-33) 7:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - Tom Glavine has bounced back froma rough stretch. Now he gets to face a team he has dominatedthroughout his career.

Glavine looks for career win No. 297 as the New York Metscontinue their four-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals onWednesday.

The 41-year-old Glavine (6-5, 4.38 ERA) is coming off his firstwin in more than a month after holding the Oakland Athletics toone run and six hits while posting season highs of eight inningsand five strikeouts.

Prior to that start, the future Hall of Famer had been roughedup for 16 runs in his last 8 1/3 frames spanning two losingoutings.

Now Glavine, who is 19-6 with a 3.55 ERA in 36 career starts vs.St. Louis, looks to win two straight for the first time sinceApril 12-17. He has been especially good against St. Louisrecently, winning three straight and 12 of his last 18 startsagainst them.

The Mets, who have struggled in June by going 9-15, dropped a5-3 decision on Tuesday as rookie Brendan Ryan hit a go-aheadhomer in the 11th inning for the Cardinals.

As for St. Louis, they will counter with Anthony Reyes (0-9,6.64) who is trying to avoid the worst start to season sinceAnthony Young started 0-13 for the Mets in 1993.

Reyes surrendered five runs and nine hits in a season-low 4 1/3innings against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, and hasallowed five or more runs in each of his last four starts.
