Mets | Jonathon Niese strikes out 10 before leaving Sunday start

New York Mets SP Jonathon Niese (heart) recorded 10 strikeouts Sunday, June 3, against the St. Louis Cardinals in a 6-1 victory before manager Terry Collins removed him from the game due to an elevated heart rate. "It's one of those things: I pitched six solid, scoreless innings; it's kind of one of those things I felt the heart racing at times," said Niese, who wore a heart monitor at one point last season. "I felt that was enough. I didn't want to do anything stupid. But I feel fine now, and that's a good sign."
