Mets Ride Dickey to Second Straight One-Hitter

That’s certainly an impressive feat, and given how likable of a player he is, there’s no shame in hopping on Dickey’s wagon like an uninhibited pornstar.
Over his last 32-2/3 innings pitched, he’s struck out 39, walked two, and has not allowed an earned run.
