Final Score: New York
Mets: 9 Los Angeles Dodgers: 0
The Mets continued their winning streak tonight against the
Los Angeles Dodgers, shutting them out 9-0.
After a rough start against the Yankees over the weekend,
R.A. Dickey got back to business, tossing another 8 shutout innings brining his
season totals to a record of 12-1 with a 2.15 ERA. In the game tonight Dickey allowed only three
hits and one walk while striking out 10 Dodgers.
With tonight’s win, Dickey won his career high 10th
straight decision and the MLB’s first 12 game winner. Reaching double digit strikeout totals for
the 5th time this season also places Dickey first in that
category. Dickey finishes June better
than he did May, going 5-0 with a 0.93 ERA.
In addition to Dickey having a great day on the mound, a few
other players stood out as well.
Daniel Murphy went deep yet again for the Mets, his third of
season. Murphy has been on a power surge
lately, hitting three homeruns this week after going all season without
one. Murphy also knocked in a career
high tying five RBI’s tonight.
Murphy was not the only Met player to tie a career high, as
Reuben Tejada joined him for that distinction tonight. Tejada reached base a career high five times,
getting on base in a number of different ways.
He went 4-5 from the plate and was also hit by a pitch, scoring two
runs.
Lucas Duda was able to snap out of his funk tonight, ending
an 0-15 drought with an RBI single in fifth inning. Ike Davis was also able to add an RBI on a
sacrifice fly in the 1st inning, ending the game 1-4 with a season
batting average of .198.
The Mets will look to take the four game series and win
their fourth game in a row Saturday night when Johan Santana (5-4 3.00 ERA)
takes the mound for the Mets against Nathan Eovaldi (0-4 4.04 ERA) of the
Dodgers.
