Backed by a great performance from Johan Santana, the Mets beat the Cardinals for the second time in three nights to retain their slim 1-game lead over Philadelphia.
David Wright, Fernando Tatis and Ramon Castro each went deep, and Johan himself hit a ball off the right field wall. (It went for a single; he didn't run at first because he thought that it was foul.) His 2 hits raised his batting average to .178.
Santana was also helped out by a great defensive play, a home-run robbing catch made by Carlos Beltran.
Perhaps unsettled by the turn of events after he left his last start (after 8 innings), Johan went the distance tonight, giving up 1 run on 6 hits in 9 frames.
Final Score: 9-1
