Gant was acquired last season in the deal that sent Kelly Johnson and Juan Uribe to New York. He began his outing by surrendering a leadoff double to Curtis Granderson, who came around to score on a RBI groundout by Yoenis Cespedes, but he did not give up another hit until Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-out double in the sixth.
Matt Harvey got the start for the Mets and looked strong early, needing just 21 pitches to get through the first two innings. The right-hander ran into some trouble from there, though, surrendering back-to-back RBI doubles in the third to Ender Inciarte and Freddie Freeman, and RBI singles to A.
