Today Johan Santana showed what he is made of. After a 5 hour 14 inning marathon last night, Johan comes in and pitches a complete game, scattering six hits (and one Pujols Home Run). Johan even got a hit and his first RBI as a Met.
While Johan has pitched awesome this year with a 2.93 ERA, the Mets have given him no run support and he has lost games 2-1, and 3-2. Today the Mets showed what they are capable of and supported their ace with 17 hits and 9 runs. Johan will probably finish the season with 15 wins and a 3.00 ERA, but the real money is worth it if the Mets make the playoffs.
