Thank You… Finally!

Damion Easley takes one for the team (literally). Snapping an eighth-inning tie. Both Joe Smith and Pedro Feliciano hold off the Washington Nationals who extended their losing streak to 6 games. Johan allowed 3 runs on 8 hits and struck out 6 but the most surprising news is the Mets struggling bullpen finally saves one for Johan.

Santana’s next start will come against the Pittsburgh Pirates on August 17th at 1:35pm ET. On his last start against the Pirates he allowed 2 runs on 2 hits and stuck out 7 but Johan did not get a decision do to the Mets bullpen. It took 6 relief pitchers to blow the lead and a save. Mets did get the win on an RBI single by David Wright in the bottom of the 11th.

Let’s see if the Mets 6th consecutive win will be scored to Santana…
