Congratulations to R.A. Dickey. This afternoon in the season's final home game at Citi Field, he went the first 7-2/3 innings and struck out 13 (to tie his career-high) as he earned his 20th win in the Mets 6 - 5 win over the Pirates. The knuckleballer became the team's first pitcher to win 20 since Frank Viola in 1990 -- and the first knuckleballer with a 20-win-season since Joe Niekro in 1980! A big assist goes to teammate David Wright, whose three-run home capped the Mets scoring.
