Home Sweet Home for Mets as They Win Nine in a Row

The New York Mets continue their hot play at home this season with their 2-1 win last night on the walk-off homer by rookie first baseman Ike Davis last night in the 11th inning. Their series continues tonight at rainy Citi Field where Johan Santana takes the mound in a game the Mets hope to get in. The San Diego Padres are no slouches in the National League and for the Mets to be in this game they need to score runs for their ace. Santana had two excellent outings on the road recently and the Mets could not come up with any runs for him unfortunately. On June 2nd Santana went 7 innings at San Diego and on May 28th he went 8 innings giving up no earned runs in each outing. The Mets have to find a way to get on the scoreboard early and give Johan a lead for a change. Johan’s one of the most competitive players on the team and the offense has to rally around him, starting tonight. If they can take at least 2-of-3 from San Diego and play well in the interleague series this weekend at the Baltimore Orioles that will put them in excellent shape in the National League East. LET’S GO METS!
