Mets Win 5-2, Johan Starts Against Former Team at 1 pm

Due to the NCAA tournament, I was slightly pre-occupied last night.  Sorry...

Anyway, Last night the Mets beat the Marlins 5-2 (box score) on the strength of homers from Jeff Francouer and Jason Bay.  Both players hit two-run jobs, as Bay's gave the Mets the lead in the seventh inning after Francouer's tied it in the fifth.

On the hill,  Perez worked himself out of a bunch of trouble, and finished up working 4 innings giving up 6 hits, 2 runs and struck out two.  Not a great performance, but it's encouraging that he didn't unravel like he usually does.  Maybe he got a little headstrong this offseason.

Also, Igarashi, Felciano, K-Rod and Takahashi combined to keep the Marlins off the board for the rest of the game, although some more quietly than others.

As for today...

Johan Santana is starting against his former team at 1 pm on SNY...

Line-up to come...
