Very little support

Santana gets very little run support once again as the Mets scramble to get 4 runs and the bullpen almost gave Johan his second no decision. “I wonder when we’re going to get a base hit, that’s what I wonder,”said Johan who suffered 7 loses last season due to the Mets mediocre bullpen. This season it is the offence that is concerning Jerry Manuel and Santana.

The biggest problems for the Mets is the ability to drive in the runners as they left 13 men on base.
