Mets L"IKE" what they see

The Mets got the boost they were hoping for with Ike Davis making his debut this evening. They defeated the Chicago Cubs by the score of 6-1. Rookie Jon Niese got the start and pitched well going 5 2/3 innings giving up 8 hits and 1 unearned run. He did walk 3 batters but struck out 7. Fernando Nieve got the win pitching 1 1/3 innings and giving up 1 hit. Jenrry Mejia pitched 2 hitless and scoreless innings giving up 2 walks, he did strike out 2 batters. Ike Davis had 2 hits including a rbi single. Angel Pagan had the big blow a 2 run homerun in the7th inning to break the tie and give the Mets the lead they wouldn't relinquish. Jason Bay had a couple of hits including a rbi double. David Wright had a hit and another walk to add to his major league lead in that category. The Mets will send Mike Pelfrey to the hill tomorrow against Carlos Zambrano in game 2 of the series. Ike Davis got a face full of shaving cream in the dugout. He said it is easier to blend in with the team since he knows them from spring training and that it is a good group of guys and they all welcome him.
