Mets 3, Nationals 1: Dickey's Better Than Wang

This game was over when R.A. Dickey's knuckler was dancing. He got eight strikeouts and 14 ground balls on the way to 24 outs. Four hits. 70% of his knuckleballs were strikes! 24 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings for him. Bryce Harper struck out twice and misplayed a David Wright fly ball into a triple. Lucas Duda had a walk and a massive home run and supplied all the offense the team needed. Frank Francisco even found the plate, even if he did give up a home run to Ryan Zimmerman.

It was a good day (game).
