R.A. Dickey's knuckleball is designed to baffle, not overwhelm. Against the free-swinging Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday, it did both. His 80-mph knuckler dipping and darting all over the place, Dickey struck out a career-high 11 as the New York Mets hung on for a 3-2 victory. Dickey (6-1) tied a host of others for the most wins in the majors to continue the best start of his career.
