Mets Beat the DBacks 9-1!

Tuesday night the Mets scored 7 times in the bottom of a rain delayed  7^th inning as they beat the Dbacks 9-1.    Jeremy Hefner started for the Mets and continued to pitch impressive baseball. Hef went 7 innings, he allowed just 4 hits 1 run (earned) he walked 2 and struck out 6. The only blemish was a solo homer by Martin Prado (#7^th) in the top of the 7^th inning.  Hefner gets the win and is now 3-6 on the year.  Offensively for the Mets a good night all around.  The Mets pumped out 12 hits as every starter in the game got at least 1 hit on the night. In that big 7^th inning, the Mets broke the 1-all tie on a Josh Satin double before a rain delay. After the hour and forty-one minute delay Anthony Recker, Omar Quintanilla, Eric Young Jr and Juan Legares all drove in runs breaking the game wide open.  Recker went 2 for 4 on the night with his 3rd homer and 2 ribbies. Omar Quintanilla added an rbi single in the 8^th, he had 2  hits and 3 rbi on the game, Young had 2 rbi. Josh Satin now has an 8 game hitting streak. The 7 run inning was the Mets biggest inning in 2 years. The Mets also, broke their streak of 30 straight home games (going back to April 24^th) where they failed to score more than 5 runs. That streak tied a national league record, but is now history. With the win the Mets now stand at 35-45 on the season and now 17-25 in Flushing. Wednesday night it’s the 3^rd game of this 4 game set. Matt Harvey (7-1  2.00) goes for the Mets,  Randall Delgado (0-2  4.05) goes for Arizona. – Craig Mitchell  https://www.facebook.com/MetsForum
