Recap:

Shaun Marcum is making a nice impression with the New York Mets.

Making his third of the spring, Marcum allowed only one hit and didn't walk anyone in 3 2-3 innings Sunday as the Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0.

Marcum and six relievers combined to give up just three hits.

"We pitched very well today," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "It starts with Shaun. Shaun made pitch after pitch and later in the game the relievers did, too."

Shane Robinson appeared to be fooled by an offering from Marcum in the second inning but still managed to stroke the lone hit off him, keeping the ball inside the left-field line.

"As far as mechanics and everything, which has been my main focus the last couple bullpens and today's start, everything felt a lot better," Marcum said.

The Mets scored in the eighth when Travis d'Arnaud drew a walk from Edward Mujica, moved up on a wild pitch and later came home on Jordany Valdespin's single.

Jamie Hoffman hit a two-run double in the ninth.
