April 16th 2014 - Mets 5, Dbacks 2

Wednesday afternoon in Phoenix, The Mets completed a 3 game sweep of the Diamondbacks winning by a score of 5-2. Dillon Gee had a perfect game through 4 2/3 and Anthony Recker hit his 2^nd homer of the year as the Mets complete the sweep.  Gee was spot on going 7 innings he allowed just 3 hits, no runs, he walked none and struck out 3.  Gee was involved in a physical put out of Geraldo Parra at 2^nd base, that might have been the reason why he left the game having thrown just 72 pitches.  Either way, Gee gets the win he’s now 1-0.  Kyle Farnsworth and Scott Rice navigated a scoreless 8^th inning; Jose Valverde pitched the 9^th  and gave up back to back homers by Aaron Hill and Paul Goldschmidt to put the Dbacks on the board. The Mets punched out 10 hits on the day. Anthony Recker, Daniel Murphy, David Wright and Andrew Brown each had 2 hits apiece. Recker, Gee, Murphy, Wright and Kirk Nieuwenhuis had  the RBI’s. The Mets finish the road trip with a 6-3 mark and come home to Flushing on Friday night with a 8-7 record.  Friday night starts a 3 game weekend series hosting the Reds kicking off a 10 game homestand. Jon Niese (0-1  3.46) goes for the Mets, Former Met Aaron Harang (2-1  0.96) goes for the Reds.
