May 24th 2014 - Dbacks 3, Mets 2

Saturday afternoon the Diamondback’s jumped out to a 3 nothing lead and it held up, the Mets fall to the Dbacks in Flushing 3-2.  Zach Wheeler started and after a rough start settled in quite nicely. Wheeler allowed RBI singles by Martin Prado and Cody Ross to make it 2 nothing after two. In the 3rd  a Wilmer Flores error allowed Paul Goldschmidt to reach and again  Prado provided the RBI hit to drive him in to make it 3-0.  Josh Collmenter was the starter and winner for Arizona, The Mets made it 3-1 in the bottom of the 3rd on a long RBI ground rule double to center by Curtis Granderson. In the 5th David Wright, who had 3 hits on the day, lined a solo homer (3) off Collmenter to make it 3-2…but that is as close as the Mets could get despite getting their chances. The Mets had runners on first and 2nd and one out in the bottom of the 7th and 8th and failed to cash in both times. Wheeler went 6 2/3 allowing 6 hits 3 runs (2 earned) he walked only 1 and stuck out 7…he get the loss falling to 1-5.  Collmenter picks up the win he’s now 3-2.  Addison Reed pitched the 9th to notch his 13th save. Wright and Granderson continue to surge. With his 3 hits Wright is now batting .307 and Granderson added 2 hits and is now batting .222. The Mets are now 21-26 and 10-15 at home. Sunday the Mets look to win a double dip and take the series. In game one Rafael Montero (0-2  6.97) faces Bronson Arroyo (4-3  4.45), in game 2 Daisuke Matsuzaka (1-0  2.14) faces Zeke Spruill (0-0 0.00) goes for the Dbacks.
