Baseball Mets Keep Fighting, Take Series From St. Louis After a tough extra innings loss on Wednesday, the Mets bounced back Tuesday afternoon with a 4-0 victory to take the rubber match against the Cardinals. by Staff Post July 29, 2010 [This article was written by Double G Sports contributing writer Marc A. Spallino] After a tough extra innings loss on Wednesday, the Mets bounced back Tuesday afternoon with a 4-0 victory to take the rubber match against the Cardinals. R.A. Dickey was brilliant on short rest. He pitched 8.1 innings only allowing 4 hits, 2 walks, and no runs scored. After the game Dickey was quoted saying: “We don’t give up, and we’re not going to give up. These guys don’t give up and it’s an honor to be on this team”. It’s good to hear that from R.A. after seeing how angry he was when Jerry Manuel pulled him out early of his last start as a precaution after tripping and straining his ankle. Ike Davis helped put the Mets on the board in the 3rd inning with a three run bomb to drive in Jose Reyes and Angel Pagan. The fourth run came in the fifth inning when Carlos Beltran hit an RBI single to left field driving in Pagan. The Mets had a total of 7 hits which was enough to get the job done. Dickey was set to pitch the complete game but was pulled in the ninth when he put two men on. Jerry Manuel went to K-Rod to get the final two outs and surprisingly he didn’t make the fans sweat. Rodriguez was able to get Albert Pujols to pop out and then struck out Matt Holliday. The Arizona Diamondbacks come to town on Friday for a 7:10pm start. The Mets will send Mike Pelfrey to the mound to face Ian Kennedy who has struggled. Kennedy is 5-8 with a 4.10 ERA. This series is a crucial one for the Mets. After these 3 games with Arizona the Mets head to Atlanta to face the red hot Braves who lead the Mets in the NL East by 6.5 games. After the Atlanta series the Mets have a day off before heading to Philly on Friday to face the Phillies. The argument can be made that these next three series’ can make or break the Mets season. It seems as if the offense is waking up slowly so the thing to look for will be starting pitching. colchicine and gout arthritis drug calanyahow ha dhicin song tabs bentyl 10mg 5ml price avodart 10 months usa cephalexin recreational price Post Views: 1,388 The following two tabs change content below.BioLatest Posts Staff Post Latest posts by Staff Post (see all) In The Zone Announces Initial Podcast Lineup - November 13, 2020 The Essential Resources You Need to Start Your Own Gym in 2020 - February 6, 2020 Wilder vs Fury II – How the second fight will be different to the first? - February 5, 2020 Early turnovers, defensive struggles plague the Scarlet Knights - January 26, 2020 Related TopicsIke DavisJerry ManuelMike PelfreyNew York MetsR.A.
