Dickey set the Mets' consecutive scoreless innings record of 32 2/3

"We had a shot at a no-hitter, my pitcher never had a no- hitter, so you give it a shot," Collins said today in a news conference at Citi Field in New York. "That's the process. We didn't win it; we didn't expect to win it."

Wright said it was "a little awkward when the team wants an error on its own player."

Collins disagreed.

"It wasn't awkward at all, David normally makes that play," the manager said. "What the heck do we have to lose? It's no slap at David Wright."

With the win, Dickey set the Mets' consecutive scoreless innings record of 32 2/3, passing Jerry Koosman's 1973 mark.
