NEW YORK -- The New York Mets look to build some more momentum Saturday night, while the Philadelphia Phillies might be looking for some name tags.The Mets and Phillies are scheduled to play the middle contest of their three-game series Saturday night at Citi Field. The Mets won Fridays opener 9-4.The victory was the fifth in the last six games for the Mets (65-63), who are making a last-second dash for one of the National League wild card spots. New York is 3 1/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the second wild card.It is the best six-game stretch for the Mets since they went 5-1 from July 2 through July 7. They went 13-24 between July 8 and Aug. 19 before taking the final two contests of a four-game series at the San Francisco Giants and two of three from the Cardinals in St. Louis.We know that any little thing can get us going, said infielder Wilmer Flores, who hit a grand slam Friday night. I think those games on the road were good for us, (got) us going. So weve got to keep it going.The Phillies (59-69), who have lost six of their last nine, are expected to greet their newest player Saturday. Veteran catcher A.J. Ellis, who was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday in the deal that sent popular veteran backstop Carlos Ruiz to the west coast, is scheduled to join the Phillies.The Ruiz deal basically completed the dismantling of the championship-era Phillies. First baseman Ryan Howard is the only player remaining from the 2007-2011 Phillies, who won five straight NL East titles, two pennants and the 2008 World Series.Howard lost his starting job earlier this season and his contract expires at the end of this season, which means the slumping veteran -- he went 0-for-3 on Friday as his average fell to .196 -- will surely join the likes of Ruiz, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino as ex-Phillies.You play with guys your entire career and now youre seeing them in different uniforms, Howard said. Its definitely going to be something to get used to, but thats baseball. Thats the business aspect of it. Teams made moves and thats what happens.Right-hander Noah Syndergaard (11-7, 2.61 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Mets against Phillies right-hander Jeremy Hellickson.Syndergaard had his best start in weeks Sunday, when he earned the win after allowing two hits over eight scoreless innings in the Mets 2-0 victory over the Giants. It was the longest start for Syndergaard since he threw a career-high 8 1/3 innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 15. He went 3-5 with a 4.09 ERA in his 10 subsequent starts.Hellickson (10-7, 3.60) looks to win his fifth straight decision. He earned the victory in his most recent start Aug. 20, when he gave up two runs over seven innings as the Phillies beat the Cardinals 4-2. Hellickson is 4-0 with a 2.35 ERA in his last six starts.Cheap Football Jerseys Throwback China . Parker had 26 points and eight assists and San Antonio beat Toronto 112-99 Monday night.

The Ducks are hoping his ketchup bottle theory applies to star winger Corey Perry.Perry and Nick Ritchie scored late in the third period to tie it and rookie Ondrej Kase got the deciding goal in a shootout, lifting the Ducks over the Carolina Hurricanes 6-5 on Wednesday night.After Ritchie deflected in Cam Fowlers shot with 3:59 left in the third, Perry got his fifth goal of the season with 2:28 remaining to tie it at 5.Its nice to see it hit the back of the net for once, and not the goalie, Perry said.Perry, who scored 34 goals last year and won the Hart Trophy with 50 in 2010-11, hadnt scored since Oct. 25, but said hes hoping this goal leads to more.There was a player that I coached before and his name was Teemu Selanne, Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. He used to say that goal scoring was like pouring ketchup out of the ketchup bottle. Once it starts to flow, then it comes readily.It was the first non-regulation win for the Ducks this season and it was aided by Anaheims young core. Kase slickly deked to his backhand before lifting his shootout attempt over Cam Ward. Stefan Noesen, recalled from San Diego of the American Hockey League earlier in the day, got his first NHL goal, and Andrew Cogliano and Ryan Kesler also scored for Anaheim. John Gibson made 29 saves.The light went on and I threw my hands up, Noesen said. It was all of the emotions from two long years coming through at once.Teuvo Teravainen scored twice for the Hurricanes, and Jay McClement, Sebastian Aho and Brett Pesce also had goals. Ward made 33 saves while Carolina matched a season high with five goals.There were a couple breakdowns, Carolina coach Bill Peters said. At times, I thought we did a real good job at controlling the tempo of the game. We had the puck lots. But we need to do a better job defensively and have a better awareness away from the puck.Pesce scoredd on a slap shot 4:46 into the third period to give the Hurricanes a 4-2 lead.dddddddddddd Kesler scored about four minutes later to cut the deficit, but Teravainens second goal a minute later made it 5-3.Noesen scored at 13:52 in the second period to make it 3-2. Joseph Cramarossa and Kase, Noesens former San Diego Gulls teammates and roommate, were credited with the assists.Theyre both two of my pretty good friends, Noesen said. I think no matter what happens, it was special. Seeing Cram being the first one to come hug me and get the puck, that was awesome.Less than two minutes after McClement broke a 1-1 tie with a backhand around Gibson at 10:10 in the second period, Aho broke away, faked a shot and backhanded it over Gibson to make it 3-1.With 38 seconds left in the first period, Teravainen tied it at 1 with a power-play goal. Jaccob Slavin couldnt get a stick on a pass and instead used his skate to get it over to the right circle, where Teravainen found it and ripped a slap shot past Gibson.Cogliano put the Ducks on the board with just over three minutes left in the first, when he went five-hole on Ward with his own rebound, his seventh of the season.Game notes The Ducks are 1-5 in overtime this season. ...
