Mets Spoil Nothing, Waste A Stellar Dickey Start

The Mets weren't able to do much at the plate as R.A. Dickey and Tim Hudson were locked in a pitchers duel until the eighth inning.

• Dickey went 7.2 innings, giving up one run on three hits, while striking out four and walking six. Note to Dickey and the rest of the Mets pitching staff, walks kill. Dickey walked two in the eighth inning before giving up an RBI single to Chipper Jones. That's all the Braves needed.

• Ruben Tejada was 2-3 at the plate. Lucas Duda and Josh Thole are responsible for the other two hits.

• There's really nothing else to report from this game. Dickey and Hudson were both outstanding on the mound.
