Tonight the Mets handily defeated the Tigers once again by the score of 5-0. R.A. Dickey was without a doubt the key performer in the game. He held the Tigers to just 4 hits and was only in trouble once, the first inning, overcoming a bases loaded jam. Also, during the television broadcast, as stated in an earlier post, Jerry Seinfeld joined the SNY crew minus Ron Darling. I am happy that he steered all the attention towards the game. Ultimately it was like having a fan in the booth helping with the play calling, disjointed at times but otherwise refreshing.
Some key contributors...
-Jose Reyes went 3 for 4 and like Pagan the night before, he fell one hit(A double in Reyes case) shy of a cycle. He accounted for 3 of the Mets runs while stealing a base and lining a homer over the Mo Zone in right.
-R.A. Dickey was a cool character tonight, keeping Detroit off balance and unable to put good wood on the Knuck. Overall, 8 IP/4 H/2 BB/4 K while throwing 97 pitches.
-Ike Davis was clutch in the bottom of the 7th with a big two out single to plate Dickey and Reyes, in order to put the game beyond reach. Davis finished the night going 2-4 with the 2 RBI's.
A side note to the game Angel Pagan was pulled in the seventh after tweaking his midsection while he was at bat in the 5th.
