Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) – R.A. Dickey won his fifth straight decision and the Mets continued their torrid play, claiming a 6-4 victory over Cleveland for their seventh straight victory.

Jose Reyes set the table with a 3-for-5 contest with two runs scored and an RBI, Ike Davis drove in a pair and Ruben Tejada anchored the bottom of the order with a 2-for-3 evening as the Mets swept the three-game set at Progressive Field and have swept through six games to start a nine-game road trip.
