Post Game: Mets 5, Braves 1
The Mets defeated the Braves by the score of 5-1 this afternoon.
For a full recap and box score, click here.
The Least You Should Know:
Johan Santana was dominant this afternoon, allowing just five hits as his changeup was filthy.
Angel Pagan had a big day, going 3 for 4 including a run scoring triple in the ninth inning.
The Braves walked David Wright intentionally three times, and Jeff Francoeur made his former team pay with a 2 for 5 day.
Other Observations and Notes:
The Mets scored more than four runs for just the seventh time in their past 23 games.
This was the first time that the Mets have given Santana more than two runs against the Braves since he became a Met last year, and it is the first time Santana has defeated the Braves, which is astonishing.
The Mets executed a suicide squeeze in the ninth inning when Luis Castillo sacrificed Angel Pagan.
The slump for Omir Santos continues as he is now 5 for his last 38 at the plate.
The Mets go for the series split tomorrow at 6:00 pm with Fernando Nieve facing Javier Vazquez.
