Washingtons lead in the NL East was cut to nine games.I was trying to put it into play, said Murphy, the former Mets star who has hit safely against them in 18 consecutive games this season and is hitting .411 against his old team. I was unsuccessful.Second baseman T.J. Rivera, in the lineup because of Wilmer Flores stiff neck, homered in the top of the 10th inning to give the Mets the lead for good.

Anthony Rendon and Wilson Ramos then delivered consecutive singles to tie it.Familia then got Ryan Zimmerman to line out and pinch-hitter Clint Robinson to hit a soft liner to second that fooled pinch-runner Wilmer Difo, who was doubled off first.Jeurys is tough, Murphy said. I saw him all year last year from behind him. Hes tough in there and to be able to grind out at-bats like that and turn 3-1 into 3-3 is a good inning for us.Noah Syndergaard struck out 10 over seven innings for the Mets, yielding just one run and four hits.Nationals starter A.J. Cole allowed three runs and nine hits in five innings.ZEROES FOR RZEPCZYNSKIWashington reliever Marc Rzepczynski retired the lone Met he faced and has not allowed an earned run in nine appearances since being acquired from Oakland on Aug. 25.

Travis Kelce Youth Jersey . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay. Tony Gonzalez Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. http://www.prochiefsauthentic.com/Youth-Marcus-Allen-Elite-Jersey/ . PETERSBURG, Fla. LANDOVER, Md. -- As the chants of We want Dallas! We want Dallas! reverberated through the stadium, it was clear Washington Redskins fans already were looking forward to a Thanksgiving Day showdown against the NFC East-leading Cowboys.Redskins players were ready to think about whats ahead, too.A quick turnaround week, Redskins wideout DeSean Jackson said. Everybodys focused on this next game coming up. Its going to be another big one.Thursdays game at Dallas -- the current division leader hosting last seasons division champion -- would not have been as meaningful had Washington (6-3-1) not won for the sixth time in eight games by beating the Green Bay Packers 42-24 on Sunday night.Its great to be playing the way were playing, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins said, and its just a matter of doing it again this Thursday against a very good football team.Cousins was good as can be against Green Bay (4-6), going 21 of 30 for 375 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, leading a Redskins offense that produced two 100-yard receivers (Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder) and a 100-yard rusher (Robert Kelley) in the same game for the first time in 17 years.It was Cousins 17th career 300-yard day, including the postseason, setting a team record.If we can get our guy back there playing like that, Jackson said, well be almost unstoppable.While Washington heads to Dallas off short rest, Green Bay takes a four-game losing streak into a Monday night game in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.We put ourselves in a tough spot, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. So weve got find a way to get a win next week and approach it one week at a time. Thats all weve got right now. Were in a tough stretch.Here are some things we learned from the Redskins victory over the Packers:KELLEY HITS MILESTONEUndrafted rookie Kelley hadnt had a 100-yard game since a 2010 high school playoff game until rolling up 137 with three TDs against Green Bay. Kelley continues to impress since passing Matt Jones -- the former starter who was inactive Sunday -- on the depth chart, and if he continues to put up 5. Chiefs Jerseys. yards a carry, opponents are in trouble. All those cutbacks I normally do, that wasnt happening tonight, and I think it was the o-line pushing me forward, making lines that I could go straight downhill with, Kelley said.NO WORDSGreen Bays secondary has a lot of work to do to get things right after putting up little resistance from start to finish. This was the fourth game in a row the Packers allowed at least 30 points. We have way too much talent in this locker room to be performing like that. But week in, week out, were doing it. Im speechless, safety Micah Hyde said. That was embarrassing. Gave up way too many big plays. Its frustrating.3 AND OUTRodgers will want to figure out how to get off to a better beginning against the Eagles after three-and-outs on each of Green Bays first three possessions at Washington. He went 1 for 5 for zero yards on that terrible trio of drives. While he eventually got going and wound up 26 of 41 for 351 yards with three TDs and no picks, Rodgers lamented that poor beginning. We didnt see that coming, he said.DEEP SHOTSWhile Rodgers acknowledged the wind affected some throws, Cousins said he has always believed that rotation beats wind and let it fly with completions of 70, 53 and 44 yards. He spun it, coach Jay Gruden said. Hes always been able to knife the ball through the wind. Really. Hes been a good quarterback in the rain and the wind. He just has really good release and a good feel for it.COOKS BACKPackers TE Jared Cook adds an extra dimension to the offense, making a team-high six catches for 105 yards and a score after sitting out the previous six games. Hes a tough matchup, Rodgers said. But Cook also fumbled in the fourth quarter.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Whyno contributed to this report.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
