July 3rd -- Dbacks 5, Mets 3

Wednesday night in Flushing, Matt Harvey proved he was human. The Mets Ace had a shut out through 5 2/3’s when he yielded a three run homer to Cody Ross as the Dbacks come from behind to beat the Mets 5-3. For Harvey, it was the first 3 run homer he has yielded in his major league career. The Mets staked Harvey to a 2-nothing lead in the 4^th when David Wright and Josh Satin hit solo homers off Arizona starter Randal Delgago. For Wright his 13^th on the year, for Satin it was his first major league homer. The blast also extended Satins hitting streak to 9 straight.  Ross’s 5th homer on the season and 2^nd in two days was the back breaker.  In the 7^th the Dbacks scored 2 more times and knocked Harvey out of the game. Daniel Murphy connected off of David Hernandez in the 8^th for a solo shot (#6) to cap the Mets scoring. Harvey went 6 innings he allowed 9 hits 5 runs he walked 4 and struck out 9 taking the loss falling to 7-2 on the year his era rises from 2.00 to 2.27.  Delgado goes 7 striking out 9 and gets the win; he’s now 1-2.  With the loss the Mets fall to 35-46 on the year (17-26 at home). Thursday afternoon is the 4^th of July finale of the series.  Dillon Gee (6-7  4.60) goes for the Mets, Ian Kennedy (3-4  5.36) goes for Arizona.  https://www.facebook.com/MetsForum
