It was the first time since Dave Steib did it for the Blue Jays in 1988 that a pitcher had thrown two straight one-hitters.

Dickey struck out 13 and didn’t allow a run in the win. The 37-year-old knuckleballer has not allowed a run in 42 2/3 innings. Doc Gooden is the only Met to ever have a longer scoreless streak. He didn’t allow a run in 49 innings in 1985.

“I got a good feel for it right now. I’m making it do a couple of different things,” Dickey said to SNY when talking about his knuckleball. “I feel very confident. When I step on the mound I feel I can get anybody out.”

Dickey now leads the league in wins (11), ERA (2.00), stikeouts (103), and complete games (three).
