Mets Homer Twice In 7-3 Win Over Brewers
An article by Former Writers
Mets took game one against the Brewers thanks to a strong start from Jon Niese and bombs from Murphy and Duda. The offensive night led the Mets to a 7-3 victory in Milwaukee.
Jon Niese had a great start, and had strong offense behind him. He needed that offense early, as he gives up two quick runs on three straight hits in the second. Niese bounced back nicely with several more zeros to keep the Mets in the lead. Niese got pulled after the sixth when he started to tire, but still finished strong. His line ends with six innings pitched, two runs allowed on six hits, three runs, while striking out five batters.
Josh Edgin and Jon Rauch combine for a scoreless seventh. Bobby Parnell handled the eighth with two hits allowed, but no runs against him. Ramon Ramirez was given the ninth and allowed an RBI triple.
Mets had an offensive explosion tonight including a rare two homers in a game to total seven runs.
Daniel Murphy had one hit, a two-run homer, his sixth home run of the season.
Lucas Duda had a big night, two hits including a homer and an RBI double.
Josh Thole even contributed with an RBI double in the sixth. He also walked and struck out in the game.
David Wright also had two hits tonight with a run scored and two strikeouts.
Ruben Tejada, Ike Davis, and Andres Torres all had 0-fers.

Nice game by Niese who unlike last season where he faded down the stretch this season he now has 18 consecutive starts of 6 innings or more pitched but more importantly 8 straight starts where he has allowed 3 earned runs or less.
Mets really need to strongly consider wearing those road jerseys at home.
They should elect to bat first too.
LoL, This.
Road Warriors.:)
Take whatever the routine is on the road, put it in a can, pour it over Cities.
Wow, how different and loose this team is on the road!
Lets get it right.Murphy had two hits not one.
There is no juice playing in an empty ball park.
Citi curse.
Playoffs: Are we there yet?
Sandy No but we are going in the right direction
But daddy we are in a ditch and Mr. Met is in a coma
Sandy: Little Johnny its just a bump in the road and Mr. Met is just tired its been a long journey
Little Johnny: Can you really put Mr. Met back together again
Sandy; Yes I am still looking for the glue and bandaids
Nice game. It’s nice to know even a blind squirrel can gather nuts…sometimes.
About as many fans these days at citi field as there are at a hofstra football game
