Mets vs Diamondback Post Game Recap
7/26
The Mets were able to snap their 6 game
losing streak by beating the Diamondbacks 3-1 with a great start from
Matt Harvey.
Making his MLB debut 23 year old Matt
Harvey was exactly what the doctor ordered for the Mets to snap their
losing streak, as they look to try and move back to the .500 mark.
Harvey set a Mets franchise record in strikeouts with 11 breaking Tom
Seavers previous record. The young right hander would go 5.1
scoreless innings while only allowing three hits, and three walks in
his debut.
Jon Rauch gave up the only run of the
game for the Mets in the 8th inning, as Justin Upton hit a
sac-fly scoring Jason Kubel.
Mets closer Bobby Parnell was able to
get his 3rd save of the season despite making things
interesting in the 9th inning by allowing two walks, but
did have an impressive three strikeouts in the inning.
Lead-off hitter Ruben Tejada was able
to reach base safely three times going 2 for 4 with a walk, and
scoring a run.
Scott Hairston had the biggest night of
any Mets hitters going 3 for 4 with two doubles, and two RBIs
continuing his great hitting against lefty pitchers.
Struggling Andres Torres was able to
snap out of his 0-17 drought going 2 for 3 hitting his third triple
of the year, and scoring a run.
Matt Harvey showed off his hitting
skills as well going 2 for 2 off All-Star Wade Miley including a
double capping off his great major league debut.
The Mets will look to get a little
winning streak going by sending Jon Niese (7-4, 3.59) to face Josh
Collmenter (2-2, 3.82).
