Money Line: 104.00 San Francisco (Away)
Result: Loss
The Mets are reeling. It's not just that they have lost six of their last eight, but how they've lost especially in this series.




New York was no-hit by rookie Chris Heston in the opener and then lost a two-run lead with Matt Harvey on the mound last night in an 8-5 defeat.




The Giants have won six of their last seven road games. They are swinging hot bats even without injured Hunter Pence averaging 5.8 runs, 12.2 hits and batting .321 during their last five games.




Giants starter Tim Lincecum is 6-1 lifetime versus the Mets with a 2.88 ERA in 11 starts against New York. He's 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in his last three starts in Queens, although he last pitched there three years ago.




Mets starter southpaw Jonathon Niese is in bad form with an 0-4 record and 7.96 ERA in his last five starts. The Giants have won 67 percent of their games versus lefties this season. The Mets are 6-20 the past 26 times Niese has faced a team with a winning record.
