The Mets and the Pirates play game 2 tonight, a game more people will probably watch since the game isn't being played at the same time as the Jets. Anyway, in cased you missed it, and you very may well have, the Mets won a 1-0 in the tenth inning. The Mets hope to continue the fireworks tonight against Duke as Dickey goes for the Amazins.
Dickey picked up his 10th win of the season in his last start as he got back on the right track with a 6 inning outing where he allowed 2 ER runs. The last time that he played the Pirates was in 2009 where he pitched two scoreless innings. The Pirates have the following numbers against Robert Allen:
Snyder 0-2
Cedeno 0-1
Young 1-1, 2B
The Mets will get a crack at Zach Duke who is 7-13 this season with a 5.47 ERA. In his last three games he has pitched 11.1 innings with 12 ER (he allowed exactly 4 ER in each game). His last good start was against the Mets (of course). In that outing he allowed one earned run over 7 innings of work. The Mets have these numbers against Duke:
Reyes 7-21, 3B, HR
Pagan 2-7
Evans 1-7, 2B
Castillo 2-4
Lets Go Mets!
