Rolen drives in the lone run in Cards' win against Mets

NEW YORK -- Scott Rolen hit an RBI double with two outs in the eighth inning, sending the St. Louis Cardinals to a 1-0 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday night.

Jeff Suppan, Cal Eldred and Steve Kline combined on a four-hitter, St. Louis' third shutout of the season.

After Suppan and Steve Trachsel matched zeros most of the night, Tony Womack led off the eighth with a single off Mike Stanton (0-1).

Edgar Renteria reached on a fielder's choice, then stole second with two outs. Rolen followed with a shot into the left-center gap off Ricky Bottalico.

Eldred (1-0) pitched two hitless innings and Kline worked a perfect ninth for his first save -- one night after closer Jason Isringhausen blew a save in a 5-4 loss.
