Unfortunately for the veteran left-hander, he's still winless on the season. Santana gets another shot at win No. 1 this afternoon when the Mets resume their three-game series against Arizona. He didn't get a decision in a 6-5, 11-inning win at Colorado on Sunday. In that game, Santana gave up no runs on two hits over six innings. He's yielded just five hits and a run covering his last two starts, both no-decisions. Over his career, Santana is 2-0 with an 0.62 ERA in four starts against the Diamondbacks. His last victory against Arizona came on June 8,...

Via Mets Merized Online  |  May 06, 2012
The Mets defeated the Diamondbacks 4-3 on Saturday as Johan Santana grinded out a hard fought win – his first since September of 2010. Santana (1-2) allowed nine hits but gave up only three runs, striking out five and walking one. He threw a season high 108 pitches and did a fantastic job of gutting out a win on a day where he didn’t have his best stuff. He never hit more than...

The Bonus

Via Metstradamus  |  May 06, 2012
It used to be that we paid Johan Santana to do what he did on Saturday: be the stopper. Make sure four game losing streaks don't become five, or nine, or 28 game losing streaks. Now, the Mets are just paying him to go out there every five days and not get hurt. Anything else is a bonus. A win? Those have been so rare for Santana, that's like a Christmas bonus. Even when he...

Bounce

Via Metstradamus  |  May 07, 2012
The bounce can be defined in one of two ways.

The top guns in the rotation got it done with Johan Santana on Saturday, and R.A. Dickey on Sunday with eight innings of shutout baseball. He wanted nine,...
