In a very impressive performance overall, Johan Santana and the bullpen combo of Heilman, Sanchez and Smith held the Giants scoreless on just a paltry three hits. In a game held up by a 42 minute rain delay, the Mets, perhaps, decided to show that they could win rain or shine.
Ramon Castro had a big three-run-homer in the 4th off of losing pitcher Johnathan Sanchez. Carlos Delgado went 3 for 4 with a couple of doubles. Argenis Reyes got his first (and second) major league hit tonight, and scored a run, as well.
In summation, the quintessential sweet victory. (Okay. Maybe that's a stretch. All the runs were batted in by the 8,9 and 1 batters.)
Florida won and the Phillies are winning. It is likely that the Mets will remain 1.5 games out of first.
All-Star Game Coverage: As you may have noticed, I've put up an additional poll on the righ-hand side of the blog. This one is about which Mets pitcher is most worthy to be the Mets' All-Star representative.
With his solid start today, Johan Santana put the icing onto what should be his All-Star cake.

Hey, A. Reyes had his first run AND his first RBI in yesterday's game.
No aruments on that, Jason. I don't claim to point out every point.
Maybe that's what you're here for. ;-)
No, seriously, thanks for pointing that out.
