New York will next face Jamie Garcia (1-0, 1.50), who starts for the Cardinals (7-3) after returning from Tommy John surgery with a solid 2010 debut.

Last Saturday, he limited Milwaukee to one run and four hits with three walks over six innings of a 7-1 rout. The left-hander underwent the elbow procedure in September 2008, and spent last season with Triple-A Memphis.

Yadier Molina, who hit a three-run homer, was impressed by his batterymate.

"He's a rookie, but he acted like a veteran," Molina told the Cardinals' official website. "He's a rookie, but he doesn't show any emotion out there."

Garcia, who threw 95 pitches, has never faced the Mets.

remember when we used to pwn rookie lefties? me neither

hi pj.
I don't remember the last time we ever hit a pitcher we hadn't seen before.
Doesn't bode well. Luckily, I won't be around later.
