The Least You Should Know:
- R.A. Dickey started for the Mets today and he was brilliant, allowing just four hits in 8 1/3 innings of work.
- Ike Davis hit a three run home run in the third inning, and the Mets added a run in the fifth inning thanks to an RBI single by Carlos Beltran.
- Francisco Rodriguez notched his 22nd save of the season.
- Alex Cora went 0 for 4, and is now just 3 for his last 34 at the plate.
- The Mets won their first series since their June 25-27 series against the Twins at Citi Field.
…dickey was outstanding once again today, giving the Mets not just a much needed win, but a complete game effort which rested the bullpen…he also got some run support for a change…
…i love how he can vary the speed of his knuckleball as well as his fastball…he can get that fastball into the upper 80s, and then he floats the knuckler in which has been absolutely baffling for most of the opposition this season…
