Today in the "Citi" the Mets defeated the Rockies 4-0 (box score) and took the series from Colorado. Santana was awesome as the Mets shut out the Rox for the second time in three games to get back to .500 on the season.
Santana went the distance for the Mets today, striking out 10, and allowing only 4 hits. He was great, and had to be, considering the way the bullpen blew up in last night's game and K-Rod's temporary detainment. Johan must have seen everything that's happened with the 'pen in the last 18 hours and decided he would rather just do the job himself.
At the plate, Reyes went 2-4 with 2 stolen bases and a RBI, while Beltran went 3-3 with an RBI as well. Martinez and Pagan drove in the other two runs for the Mets. Hopefully the good day from Beltran is the start of something and not just a good day from a player who isn't what he used to be.
Either way, winning the series was important, as the Mets head into a three game set with the Phillies this weekend. Tomorrow night's match up features R.A. Dickey and Cole Hamels. Let's see if the Mets can get hot one more time before the season ends.
