PHOENIX -- Andrew Browns opportunities are few and far between these days and he knows he needs to make the best of them. He certainly did that on Sunday. Browns three-run pinch-hit home run broke open a close game and the New York Mets beat Arizona 9-5 on Sunday. "Whenever you get a chance you try to do something productive, whether its moving a runner over, walking, bunting," he said, "whatever plus it can be to keep me here a little bit longer." Jonathan Niese (4-6), in his first start since June 20, came off the disabled list to go six innings, giving up four runs and seven hits in his first win since May 16. "I thought he got better as the game went on," New York manager Terry Collins said. "You know its been awhile since hes been out there. I was very happy with the way he threw." The Mets took two of three from the Diamondbacks and have won five of six. The Mets scored four unearned runs in the first, three on first baseman Paul Goldschmidts fielding error with two outs and the bases loaded. Aaron Hills three-run home run cut the lead to 5-4 in the third, but Browns three-run shot made it a four-run game in the seventh. Arizonas Cody Ross was carted off the field in the first inning with a dislocated right hip. Ross stumbled as he approached first base while trying to beat out a grounder, then fell to the ground. He was grimacing and grabbing his right leg as he was loaded onto the cart. After X-rays, the team announced he had dislocated his hip. "They took him to the hospital and put it back in," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "They are doing more tests on him to make sure there is no fracture and just evaluate the damage. It is possible he could have surgery, but they have not determined that yet." The Mets Wilmer Flores hit his first career home run, a solo shot off Heath Bell in the ninth. Niese, out for seven weeks with a partially torn rotator cuff, struck out five and walked one. He called it "a relief" to be back, throwing without pain for the first time since the first few weeks of the season. "It feels like good," Niese said. "Theres nothing like pitching in the big leagues. Its good to get back out there with all the guys." The Diamondbacks Zeke Spruill (0-2), in his second major league start, gave up a one-out single to Juan Lagares in the first, then walked Daniel Murphy and Ike Davis to load the bases. Mike Baxters grounder to first deflected off Goldschmidts glove and all three runners scored. Anthony Reckers double brought in the fourth run. It was the fifth error of the season for the normally reliable Goldschmidt. "I just missed it. I was in position right there.," he said. "It is a play I make every time and right there I didnt. It hurt us, it hurt the bullpen. We had to get the bullpen in early and Zeke had to come out early due to no fault of his own. " After Hills RBI double in the first cut it to 4-1, the Mets had runners at first and second with one out in the third when Omar Quintanilla singled to centre. One run scored, but Cliff Penningtons relay throw from centre fielder A.J. Pollock cut down Baxter trying to score from first. Pollock led off the Arizona fourth with a single, then Goldschmidt drew a one-out walk to bring up Hill, whose shot to left cut New Yorks lead to 5-4. In the seventh, Davis drew a one-out walk -- the ninth consecutive time hed reached base -- and Flores singled. Will Harris relieved Joe Thatcher and Browns second pinch-hit homer of the season made it 8-4. Spruill allowed five runs, just one earned, and six hits in three innings. He walked two. Notes: Ross injury opened the way for the major league debut of third baseman Matt Davidson, the MVP of this years Futures Game. Davidson, called up from Triple-A Reno, entered the game when Martin Prado was moved from third to left to take Ross place. Davidson singled to lead off the sixth for his first major league hit ...

Jimmy Bartels AFL preliminary final fate remains uncertain, with Geelong coach Chris Scott saying they are yet to settle on their team for Friday nights clash against Sydney.Teammate Harry Taylor praised Bartels ability to stand tall in the biggest of matches amid suggestions the veteran midfielder could be a shock omission for the match.While Scott confirmed on Monday night that defender Lachie Henderson is available, he added several other players out of the side had also benefited from Geelongs weekend off.Henderson missed the epic qualifying final win over Hawthorn because of knee surgery.Scott said Nakia Cockatoo, Jed Bews, Shane Kersten and Darcy Lang - who all missed the Hawks game - were better for not playing last weekend.We dont have an answer on our 22 right at the moment, but its positive that we do have options, Scott told AFL360.So the week off has helped in that respect.I know theres going to be some conjecture as to whether the extra week off is a good thing or not and even after the game, I dont think well know for sure.But one thing we do know is some of our guys who have had little, niggling injuries are better for it.Lachie will be available ... we still have a few things to work through.Assuming Henderson plays, Josh Cowan or Tom Ruggles will make way.But there is also speculation Bartel could be dropped.The veteran of 304 matches is likely to retire after this season.Overlooking the 32-year-old Bartel - whose long list of honours include the 2007 Brownlow Medal and the 2011 Norm Smith Medal as best afield in the Cats most recent premiership triumph - would be a huge call.ddddddddddddes a very, very handy player to have in the big games, Taylor said on Monday.He brings a lot of experience to our footy club on the training track and in games as well.His record in finals is very, very good.Taylor expects stoic backman Tom Lonergan to again get first crack at superstar Sydney forward Lance Franklin, who kicked four crucial goals in the semi-final victory over Adelaide.Thats more than likely but I can also play on him and (Henderson) can have a go as well, Taylor said.Weve got a few other different options but I dont think its going to take (only) one person to shut him down.Taylor warned of the danger of Geelong becoming too Buddy-centric, with Sydney having plenty of other dangerous forwards.Tom Papley matched Franklins four-goal haul against the Crows and Isaac Heeney was one of the best players on the ground.Ruck-forward Kurt Tippett is also likely to return from a broken jaw suffered in the opening week of the finals against Greater Western Sydney.We need to look at their forward line as a collective, particularly how they all work together, Taylor said.
