sources told ESPN. The deal includes a player option that would allow Westbrook
to still become a free agent after the 2017-18 season.Westbrook, who has played
all eight seasons of his career for the Thunder, will sign the contract Thursday

current deal, which expires after the 2016-17 season. The new deal would call

LOUIS -- It was a night of firsts for Robert Gsellman, who made his major league
debut for the New York Mets on Tuesday night.Wilmer Flores and Justin Ruggiano
homered as the Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-4.The offense helped Gsellman
(1-0) get the decision. Gsellman, pressed into action after starter Jonathon
Niese left with an injury in the first inning, pitched 3 2/3 innings without
allowing an earned run.It was my first time ever coming out of the bullpen so it
felt kind of awkward, but you still have to take the mound the same way when
youre starting, Gsellman said. I just thought I was starting the game all over
and just tried to make some pitches.Niese had been dealing with knee discomfort
this season. Gsellman was ready.Thats a tough spot even for a veteran to come
out in the first inning, guys on, I tell you very, very, very impressive, Mets
manager Terry Collins said. They always talked about the stuffs there. I was
impressed that he came in and threw strikes for the most part and kept us in the
game.Jose Reyes reached four base times and scored three runs. Asdrubal Cabrera
had three hits, drove in a run and scored once.Ive been working on my swing on
both sides of the plate to try to get it where I need to be, Reyes said. Right
now I feel like its there.Collins said Reyes changes the energy of the
team.Youre talking about one of the premier players in the game, Collins said.
We know Joses got a lot to prove right now and hes doing it.Jeurys Familia
earned his 42nd save, one shy of the Mets season record set by Familia last year
and Armando Benitez in 2001.Cardinals lefty Jaime Garcia (10-9) gave up a
season-high six runs at home, in just four innings. New York broke a 22
1/3-inning streak in which Garcia hadnt given up an earned run at home to the
Mets.He just didnt have that movement, didnt get to work ahead in counts,
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Just kind of one of those tough
ones.Brandon Moss reached three times and drove in a run while Randdal Grichuks
solo homer in the sixth extended the Cardinals home run streak to 12 games.

being lifted for Gsellman. All three runners he allowed eventually scored.Niese
and Collins acknowledged that a trip to the disabled list is a possibility.Ive
got to get it fixed, Niese said. I cant keep going out there like that. Theres a

not able to locate and Im not helping myself out or the team.TRAINERS ROOMMets:
