St. Louis 11, New York 3

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- Mark Mulder allowed one earned run

over 3 2-3 innings, winning for the second time in the exhibition

season as the St. Louis Cardinals routed the New York Mets 11-3

Friday.

Mulder gave up four hits and left with a 3-1 lead.

Mets starter Jeremi Gonzalez gave up three runs -- one earned --

and five hits in three innings, and first-round draft pick Mike

Pelfrey followed, allowing three unearned runs and three hits in

three innings.

Third baseman David Wright, second baseman Kaz Matsui and

shortstop Chris Woodward made errors for the Mets, while infielder

Hector Luna made two for St. Louis.

Brian Daubach had two hits, including a double, and So Taguchi

singled off both Gonzalez and Pelfrey.

Xavier Nady, in his third start of spring training in right,

threw out Daubach at home plate in the third inning after John

Rodriguez's single.

"Nady had a couple nice throws for us today," Mets manager

Willie Randolph said.

Adam Wainwright, bidding for a spot in the Cardinals' starting

rotation, allowed one earned run and six hits in 3 2-3 innings.

After he allowed three straight singles that loaded the bases with

no outs in the sixth, he struck out prospect Lastings Milledge.

Luna's error at shortstop allowed a run before Wainwright retired

his next two batters.Game notes
Mets LHP Tom Glavine thought about backing out of his

agreement with the Mets in 2002, according to a book by Atlanta GM

John Schuerholz. Glavine was visibly angered by the book's

revelations while discussing them before the game. "I've never

denied it was tough to leave Atlanta . It's interesting to me, for

someone who's been so tightlipped, that I'm the only player he's

even talked about. To me, that says there is something that needs

to be explained." Schuerholz wrote in the book, "Built to Win,"

that Glavine invited him to his home just two days after agreeing

to join the Mets. "After a lot of soul-searching, Tommy decided he

was going to stay. Quite obviously, he was relieved. His wife was

relieved. And I was bouncing their son on my knee," Schuerholz

wrote in his book, co-authored by former Orlando Sentinel columnist

Larry Guest. A day later, however, Scheurholz said Glavine told him

he would honor his original deal with the Mets. Scheurholz

attributes Glavine's change of heart to the influence of Glavine's

agent, Gregg Clifton.
