NEW YORK -- Travis dArnaud went 3 for 4 with a three-run homer, Bartolo Colon made his second straight strong start, and the New York Mets crushed the Philadelphia Phillies 7-1 on Monday night. DArnaud hit one of three doubles for the Mets as they took a 4-0 lead in the first. Then the catchers seventh home run of the season broke the game open in the fifth. The 41-year-old Colon (10-8) retired the first 20 batters in his last outing Wednesday against Seattle, eventually allowing two runs on three hits in 7 1-3 innings in a 3-2 win. He wasnt as dominant Monday. But staked to a big lead, he was never in much trouble either, scattering 10 hits over 7 2-3 innings. With the Mets up 7-0 in the sixth, the Phillies loaded the bases after umpire Jerry Meals ruled that Daniel Murphys foot didnt touch the bag on a two-out force play at second base. New York challenged, and the call stood on review. But Colon promptly struck out Cody Asche to end the threat. The big right-hander was taken out after 121 pitches upon allowing his only run on consecutive two-out doubles in the eighth. A.J. Burnett (6-10), like Colon a veteran who could attract suitors before Thursdays trade deadline, also was coming off a stellar outing. But after throwing 131 pitches Wednesday, one shy of his career high, Burnett got off to a shaky start this time. Curtis Granderson walked to open the bottom of the first, and Murphy drove him in with a double. Lucas Duda had an RBI single and Juan Lagares a two-run double later in the inning. Burnett settled down, retiring 11 of the next 13 batters with four strikeouts. But with two outs in the fifth, he walked Duda. Chris Young singled, then dArnaud made it 7-0. Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz was 4 for 4 with Philadelphias only RBI. TRAINERS ROOM Mets: Lefty reliever Dana Eveland was taken out after he appeared to be hit on his pitching elbow by Ben Reveres hard comebacker in the ninth.

Houston pitched five-hit ball over five innings and drove in three runs, his defence rescued him with two double plays, and the Great Lakes champions beat Pearland, Texas, 6-1 on Tuesday night in an elimination game. Another victory for the all-black Chicago squad from Jackie Robinson West Little League means theyll play again. "Im confident," Houston said. Chicago jumped to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a run-scoring single to right field by Jackson, a throwing error, and Houstons RBI groundout. "That was huge," Chicago manager Darold Butler said. "I think it relaxes the team. It just makes things a lot easier when teams have to chase us." Houston doubled home two more runs in the fourth and held Texas at bay until the sixth, when Jackson came on in relief and struck out the side. "Im excited for the kids, for the city of Chicago, for the state of Illinois," Butler said. "Were sleeping in. Just keep everything relaxed. Them still being in a bubble, its not overwhelming for them." Chicago will play the loser of Wednesday nights game between hard-hitting Las Vegas and hard-throwing Mone Davis and her Philadelphia teammates, and the Chicago players plan to be there. Las Vegas routed Chicago 13-2 in four innings on Sunday. Pearlands season didnt end the way manager Don Smith had envisioned. He was happy for his kids, nonetheless. "I told the boys to look around and take it all in," Smith ssaid.dddddddddddd "Theres nothing to be ashamed of. It ended a little sooner than we wanted. They have no idea what theyve done — fourth in the United States." Pearlands lone run came on Joshua Gabinos double in the third inning. Walter Maeker III, pitching for the first time in a month, was the loser despite a game effort. Chicago star Pierce Jones, who leads the Little League World Series with four home runs, injured a leg on a hard-hit ball to right field early in the game, but Butler said he was OK. MEXICO 11, VENEZUELA 1 Juan Garza pitched a four-hitter and struck out six to lead Mexico past Venezuela in five innings. Garza also hit a a solo homer to lead off the bottom of the first inning. Second baseman Ruy Martinez, who stands 4-foot-8, had three hits and three RBIs for Mexico, while Daniel Quiroz also had three hits with two RBIs. "Hes not a surprise," Mexico manager Hector Arrieta said of Martinez. "Hes a great hitter who brings a lot of energy to the team." Mexico advanced to a matchup Wednesday against the winner of the South Korea-Japan game on Wednesday. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE 12, CANADA 9 Sam Slaughter homered twice and drove in six runs to help Nashville, Tennessee, beat Canada 12-9 in a consolation game. The catcher hit three-run homers in the first and fifth innings, while third baseman Blake Money also had a solid performance, going 2 for 3 with two RBIs. He hit a solo home run following Slaughters homer in the fifth. Canada made it close, scoring five runs in the sixth inning before its comeback attempt came up short.
