Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. R.A. Dickey was phenomenal going 8 innings, letting up 3 hits, 1 run, and struck out 9 Athletics.
  2. K-Rod blew the save in the 9th for his 3rd of the year and his 2nd in a row.
  3. Justin Turner had a clutch go-ahead RBI single and a walk-off Hit by pitch.

Dickey had so much movement tonight and honestly had no-hit stuff. His Knuckler was moving so well. He made one mistake to Suzuki that was a homer and Hairston lost the other ball in the lights. Too bad that K-Rod blew the save for him.

Turner finds new ways to drive in runs every night. Tonight he drove in a run on a HBP and he is the Mets most clutch player so far this year.

Bay regressed again, so I don’t know when he will return to his old form.

The Mets bullpen (besides K-Rod) was so good tonight not giving up a run over 4 innings and striking out 5.

They had the strikeout pitch going tonight striking out 16 Athletics.

Grade for the Game: B+

Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Jason Bay went 3 for 3 with a walk, triple, and Homer. He almost had 2 homers, but video review showed the ball hitting off Crisps glove, not the wall in center.
  2. Dillon Gee had no control tonight going 4 innings, letting up 4 runs, and walked 6.
  3. Jose Reyes went 0 for 5 with 5 flyballs.

Dillon Gee just could not throw a strike tonight. He only gave up 3 hits, just a ton of walks.This was his first bad start of the year.

The Mets walked 2 with the bases loaded. That is simply unacceptable…strikes are a MUST in today’s game.

Jason Bay could have broken out of his rut today. 3 hits and almost 2 home runs. Hopefully this will jumpstart his season for the Mets.

Grade for the Game: B-
