Opponents thrive the more they see Gee

Mets Blog | ESPN New York — Saturday's start by Dillon Gee, which saw him surrender five runs in the fifth inning, has become all too familiar for the Mets. "Today was kind of what we've seen. He was cruising. I don't know how many it is, but he's had a tough time getting out of the fifth inning," Mets manager Terry Collins said after the Mets' 6-0 loss to Atlanta. "That's not the Dillon Gee we know. The Dillon Gee we know is the guy that when he's cruising, you can just write it down that he's going to give you seven innings.

Rapid Reaction: Braves 6, Mets 0

Mets Blog | ESPN New York — The Mets had no answer for Mike Minor -- at the plate and on the mound. Atlanta's starter almost beat the Mets single-handed as he pitched 7 1/3 innings of zero-run ball and smashed a two-run homer in Atlanta's 6-0 win on Saturday at Citi Field. The Braves won both games on the day, as the teams earlier finished their suspended game from Friday, with Atlanta winning 7-5 in 10 innings. At 17-29, this the worst Mets start since the 1993 team started 16-30.

At last, Ike Davis gets a hit

Mets Blog | ESPN New York — After using countless different strategies in hope of finding his swing, Ike Davis may have finally found a way to turn his season around. "Definitely felt better," Davis said after going 1-for-2 Saturday, his first hit since May 17. "Trying to stay on my backside a little more, a little longer so I can recognize pitches." Davis' revamped approach helped him snap an 0-for-17 slide and gave him just his second hit in his past 44 at-bats during the Mets' pair of losses to Atlanta on Saturday at Citi Field.

Ike gets hit, Tejada fails

Mets Blog | ESPN New York — The boos were replaced by cheers. The long trek back to the dugout was re-routed to first base. Ike Davis finally had a hit. Davis produced his second hit in 43 at-bats and snapped an 0-for-17 skid with a 10th-inning single off Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel in a 7-5 loss in 10 innings to Atlanta on Saturday. Davis went 1-for-5 in the game with four strikeouts, but it's the hit that the Mets hope gets him going.

Mets Blog | ESPN New York — Even Mother Nature couldn't galvanize the New York Mets to a win. In a continuation of Friday's suspended game, the Mets fell to the Atlanta Braves 7-5 in 10 innings on Saturday at Citi Field. The game was postponed entering the ninth due to rain.

Hefner pitching well, trying to stick

Mets Blog | ESPN New York — As the battle to stay in the Mets rotation thickens over, because of top pitching prospect Zack Wheeler's impending arrival, Jeremy Hefner is putting up a fight to stick around. "Jeremy Hefner, just because he's 0-5 doesn't mean he's pitched poorly.

"The next few times out, Jeremy Hefner could be a guy that certainly stays in the rotation.
