Sept. 14th (Game 2) Mets 3, Marlins 1

In the nightcap of a double dip, Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched outstanding and the Mets held off the Marlins 3-1 to capture a split.  The Mets took the lead in the first inning 1-0 on an rbi single by Wilmer Flores.  In the 3^rd, The Mets got back to back jacks by Daniel Murphy (his 11^th) and Lucas Duda (his 14^th) and it was 3-0 Mets. It was the 3^rd time this season the Mets have homered back to back. Dice K who pitched well in his last start in Cleveland, was even better in this game. Matsuzaka went 7 innings he allowed just 2 hits, 1 run (earned) he walked one and struck out 3. Dice K only yielded a solo homer in the 4^th to Justin Ruggiano (#17), and a single to Aideny Hechavarria  in the 7^th and that was it. Dice K gets the win improving to 1-3 on year, it was his first win since August of 2012. Jacob Turner pitched for the Marlins he takes the loss he’s now 3-7.
