Major League Baseball has upheld the original official scorer's decision on CF B.J. Upton's single in Wednesday's game, meaning Mets RHP R.A. Dickey will not be given a no-hitter against Tampa Bay.

The Mets had made an official appeal to MLB after Dickey threw a complete-game one-hitter against the Rays Wednesday. The only Rays hit from Wednesday's game was an Upton chopper to third, which Mets 3B David Wright tried to bare-hand but missed, resulting in an infield hit. The Mets asked to see if the play would be ruled an error, so that Dickey could get a no-hitter.

Mets manager Terry Collins acknowledged there was less than a five-percent chance the call would get overturned, but thought they'd "give it a shot" considering the potential special moment for Dickey.
