R.A. Dickey of the Mets nearly joins Cain in the no-hit ranks when he tosses a one-hitter for a 9 – 1 win over the Rays. The only safety comes in the 1st inning, when B.J. Upton hits a high bouncer that 3B David Wrightcannot field with his bare hand; the Mets appeal after the game for the ruling to be reversed to an error, but to no avail.
