Wright leaves games Mets struggle to win in 14th 3-2

R A Dickey was basically 2 outs from another complete game win. He seem to be able to get the Astros out with ease after the 1st inning .  The Mets scored 2 in the 7th and were up 2-1 in the bottom of the 9th when Geoff Blum tagged Mr. Dickey for a 1 out solo home run to tie the score at 2 and that ended  Dickeys night. Dickey pitched really well again and should have been able to win that game but the Mets as usual cant score runs or get hits with runners on. 

The Mets had the based loaded in the 10th and couldn't score.  The Mets drew 9 walks and had 11 hits last night and only scored 3 runs.  They left an army of men on base. That is insane to have 16 lob in a game.  Something has to give here.  The Mets scored in the 14th in the only way they know how. Without a base hit. A couple of walks some intentional and a sacrifice fly by Ike Davis who broke his  0 for slump in the 13th finally put the Mets ahead.  Manny Acosta got the save as the Astros were ready to go home since Acosta was able to get them out on 5 pitches. 

A quote from Dickey regarding the 9th inning shot to Blum, who has done an outstanding job since joing the Mets earlier this year from Mr Rubin at ESPN NY. "It was a 1-0 knuckleball, and I felt like I had thrown him some really good ones all night long," Dickey said. "I threw it exactly like I had threw the one before. The one before went straight right. That one just kind of wiggled in there and he did a good job of hitting it. One more wiggle, he pops it up. He got it. Sometimes you've just got to tip your hat. I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I did the best I could."

Kudos for Manager Jerry for calling a pitch out in extra innings that nailed the Astros trying to steal second after a failed bunt attempt by Bourn.

David Wright left in the 12th inning do to feeling sick. Of course who wouldnt after the Mets are just putrid at scoring runs. 

Jose Reyes had 4 hits and a walk and scored the decisive run in the 14th. Mets go for the 3rd win of the series tonight with Pat Misch on the mound.
