Mets' Niese struggles in first start of spring

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) Jon Niese struggled in his first spring start that was delayed by shoulder trouble, allowing four runs in two innings of the New York Mets' 9-8 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday.

The Mets' opening-day starter last season, Niese pitched until June before being sidelined by a partially torn rotator cuff. He returned in August, going 5-2 with a 3.00 ERA the rest of the way. The left-hander allowed six hits and walked two Tuesday.

"It took a little while for me to get going, to get back into the competition, but I felt good," Niese said. "I kind of started off slow and I was kind of able to gradually build up."
