http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.jsJon Niese and three relievers combined on a 7-hit shutout of the Twins to win the series today. Niese returned to outstanding form today. He was in complete control through 6 IP allowing only 4 hits.

The Mets offense really pounded the Twins pitchers with 14 hits and 1 walk. They had 3-hit games from Jesus Feliciano, David Wright, and Jeff Francoeur. Most of their scoring was from three home runs by Wright, Francoeur, and Ike Davis. Francoeur was a triple away from the cycle today too.

The Mets take another series 2-1 and finish the home stand at 4-2.

Tigers 6 – Mets 5 June 24, 2010

June 06 2010: Mets' starting pitcher Hisanori Takahashi (47) gets ready to deliver a pitch during MLB action between the New York Mets and the Florida Marlins at Citi Field in Flushing, New York. The Mets beat the Marlins 7-6.

http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.jsThe Mets recovered from a terrible start by Hisanori Takahashi to make a game of it tonight and almost got the sweep. Takahashi went 4 IP and gave up 6 ER. He didn’t have good control all night and wasn’t getting any close calls from the umpire either. Maybe this will open the door for John Maine or Oliver Perez to get back into the rotation at some point.

The Mets offense was pretty solid with 10 hits and 3 walks. Jesus Feliciano went 3 for 5 with 2 runs. They had the bases loaded in the seventh inning with 2 outs and down by 1 run, but David Wright struck out and Ike Davis flied out to end the rally.

The Mets take two of three from the Tigers. Not a bad series at all.

Mets 5 – Tigers 0 June 23, 2010

May 25, 2010 - New York, United States - epa02173153 New York Met Pitcher R.A. Dickey pitches in the fourth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies, in Flushing New York, USA, 25 May 2010.

http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.jsTonight’s game was defined by another outstanding start by R.A. Dickey. He went 8 IP and only gave up 4 hits and 0 runs. The Tigers couldn’t do anything against him. It’s incredible that he keeps this run going.

Also, Angel Pagan left the game in the fifth inning with a muscle spasm. Hopefully, he won’t be out for too long. He’s been playing so well this year.

The Mets offense was solid with 8 hits and 4 walks. Jose Reyes was 3 for 4 with 3 runs and 1 RBI, just a double short of the cycle. Ike Davis was 2 for 4 with 2 RBI’s.

The Mets are on fire at home and go for the sweep tomorrow night against the Tigers.

http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.jsThe Mets won their fifth straight game behind Johan Santana. It was a shaky beginning for Santana giving up 3 runs in the second inning. But he settled down and ended up lasting 7 IP and giving up 4 runs.

The Mets offense was clicking again with 12 hits and 2 walks. David Wright was 3 for 5 with 3 RBI’s and has his average up to .293 now. Ike Davis was 2 for 4 with a long 2-run homer to center field.

The Indians helped them out with some ugly infield defense. Jason Donald especially was horrendous at shortstop and 2 errors. The Indians had 3 errors in the game.

Francisco Rodriguez did his best to give the game back to the Indians. He surrendered a 2-run homer in the ninth to Shelley Duncan. But he managed to squeak out of  it with a run to spare and another shaky save.

Mets Home Stand Review: June 4-10, 2010

http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.jsAnother Mets home stand, another successful Mets home stand.

The Mets swept the pesky Marlins to start off the festivities at home, and then took two of three from the surprise team of the National League, the San Diego Padres.

Friday, June 4th: Marlins 3, Mets 4
Saturday, June 5th: Marlins 1, Mets 6
Sunday, June 6th: Marlins 6, Mets 7
Tuesday, June 8th: Padres 1, Mets 2 (11)
Thursday, June 10th: Padres 4, Mets 2 (Game 1), Padres 0, Mets 3 (Game 2)

The Mets had something to prove in the first series of this home stand, as they were facing a Marlins team which had owned the Mets so far in 2010, holding a 6-1 record when facing the Metropolitans.

The Mets won a nail-biter 4-3 on Friday night, thanks in part to Hanley Ramirez not running hard on a ground ball which could have tied the game had he gotten to first base in time. The following afternoon, Jon Niese returned from a hamstring injury and pitched brilliantly, allowing just one run in seven innings.

The series finale didn’t look good for New York, as they were down 5-0 going into the bottom of the 6th inning. A 3-run 6th and 7th would tie the game at 6-6, and then Ike Davis would serve up a game-winning RBI groundout in the 8th inning. Continue reading “Mets Home Stand Review: June 4-10, 2010”

Apr. 19, 2010 - Flushing Meadows, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES - epa02124425 The Mets' Jonathon Niese pitches during the fourth inning of the game between the Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets at Citi Field in Flushing Meadows, New York, USA, on 19 April 2010.

http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.jsThe Mets got a complete game 1-hit shutout from Jon Niese to win the series. The only hit for the Padres was a double by Chris Denorfia in the third inning. Niese was that close to a perfect game. He was completely cruising through this one.

The Mets had some decent offense going too with 8 hits and 3 walks. Jose Reyes was 3 for 4 with 1 run and 1 SB (15th of the season). Ike Davis was 2 for 4 with an RBI. Jesus Feliciano made his debut and went 0 for 4.

This game also had another interesting play. The Padres pulled off an around the horn triple play on a Ruben Tejada ground ball to third.
