Midday Recap: Ike!

Hopefully this is the beginning of a change for the Mets 1B.

Davis broke a 2-2 tie in the 8th inning with a two-run single that powered the Mets over the Braves in the series-finale at Citi Field, 4-2. 

The hit came at the right time.

With a demotion to Las Vegas looming, Ike's hit came before a national audience on Sunday Night Baseball.  He was on base three times, twice on a hit and once on a walk.  He finished what John Buck started in the 8th, and helped preserve a fantastic pitching performance from Shaun Marcum.

Marcum pitched 7 innings, striking out 12.  He allowed 4 hits and gave up two runs, both of them  when Dan Uggla took Marcum's 100th pitch deep.

Bobby Parnell came in for his 7th save of the season, striking out 2 in the 9th inning.


Subway Series: Major League Baseball kicks off their "rivalry week" as the Mets welcome their cross-town rivals, the New York Yankees, for the start of a home-and-home series.  Matt Harvey fans will keep an eye on Tuesday's game as he faces Hiroki Kuroda, but on Monday it will be Jonathan Niese vs. Phil Hughes.
