Mets feast at home. Gorge Marlins 6 to 1.

The New York Mets continued to feast on their opponents at home, turning back the Marlins 6 to 1. Jonathan Niese, in his first start since coming off the DL, pitched a strong 7 innings, giving up only one run while striking out six batters. Ike Davis went 4 for 4 and David Wright drove in three runs, hitting his second homerun of the season at Citi Field and his tenth overall. Rookie Ruben Tejada drove in a run with a double and Jeff Francouer continued to contribute with his 30th run batted in.

Mets get fat on home cooking.

With stellar bullpen work from right handed journey man reliever, Elmer Dessens, The New York Mets continued to make like Sybil, and overcame a three run deficit in edging the  Florida Marlins 4 to 3. The Mets, who continue to play like a championship caliber team at Citi Field won for the 20th time at home, the first team to reach that mark.  R.A. Dickey improved to 3 and 0 in pitching into the 7th inning. Jeff Francoeur, Jason Bay, Ruben Tejada, and Dickey all had rbi's.  The rookie Tejada is filling in for the injured Luis Castillo who was placed on the 15 day DL.
Note: Carlos Beltran went 2 for 6 in an extended spring training game, his first game action in his rehabilitation after knee surgery. He is an estimated 4 to 6 weeks away from joining The Mets. OF Gary Matthews Jr. was designated for assignment. He was hitting .190, with 24 k's in 58 ab's. The Mets need to improve where they can, and if they can replace him with Jesus Feleciano, who is tearing up AAA, then they should be much better off.
