Bumgarner Outduels Niese to Top Mets Mets catcher Anthony Recker striking out against the Giants" Javier Lopez for the final out. Madison Bumgarner and the Giants felt right at home during the first leg of an extended stay in New York. Bumgarner struck out 10 in seven innings of four-hit ball, outpitching Jon Niese to lead San Francisco over the Mets, 2-1, on Thursday. Juan Perez went 3 for 3, with a run-scoring single, in his hometown, and San Francisco, last season's World Series champion, won for the eighth time in 11 games. After taking two of three from the Mets, the Giants will not even change hotels - they remain in New York this weekend to play three interleague games at Yankee Stadium. Plenty of San Francisco fans visited Citi Field all series, and the Giants received a loud ovation as they walked off after the final out. "It's nice to have a good fan base like that," Bumgarner said. Especially this far away. Bumgarner (13-9), who needs one more strikeout to reach 200 in a season for the first time, had the 13th game of his career with double-digit strikeouts. Niese (7-8) pitched seven solid innings for the Mets, who rallied for four runs in the ninth to win, 5-4, on Wednesday night. They batted .184 while going 4-7 on their penultimate homestand. "I established all of my pitches, threw them all for strikes, got my cutter working on both sides of the plate," Niese said. Josh Satin had a leadoff double in the fourth for the Mets" first hit. He scored on Daniel Murphy's single, but Bumgarner avoided further damage. The Mets begin their final trip Friday in Philadelphia. Third baseman David Wright is expected back after missing seven weeks with a hamstring injury.
