<p>The New York Mets lost to the San Diego Padres by a score of 3-1 Friday night, giving up the go-ahead run in the seventh when <span>Carlos Quentin</span> barreled in to catcher <span>Josh Thole</span>, knocking the ball loose and putting the Padres ahead.</p>
<p><span>R.A. Dickey</span> collected 10 strikeouts on the night and had an exceptional first half, holding the Padres to only one hit and one run until the seventh. With the game tied 1-1 the bottom of that inning saw Quentin reach on a single and then score on a <span>Yonder Alonso</span> double after Thole could not hold on to the ball. <span>John Baker</span> singled to score Alonso, leaving the score at 3-1, where it would stay.</p>
<p>The Mets sole RBI came in the fourth when <span>Ronny Cedeno</span> reached on an infield single, scoring <span>David Wright</span>. They might have added more, but <span>Scott Hairston</span> was thrown out trying to advance to third on the play.</p>
<p>The Mets fall to 52-55 with the loss, and Dickey's record drops to 14-3. They'll look to rebound in Game 2 of the three game series, scheduled for Saturday at 8:35 p.m. ET.</p>
