Johan Santana pitched well again, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits in 7+ innings. Scott Schoenweiss blew the Mets' lead and David Wright saved the day in the bottom of the ninth. Just another day in the exciting adventures of Metville.
David Wright and Carlos Beltran had three hits apiece.
The Mets can regain second place by winning the upcoming series against the Florida Marlins.
While he was certainly shaky earlier in the week, Aaron Heilman pitched effectively today. I think that, considering that Billy Wagner is currently out, Aaron Heilman should be the default closer. Sure he has some bad outings - everyone does. However, if you look at his career statistics, it is apparent that he is a very good pitcher. Dominant. Probably closer material. He may be shaky this year, but who's going to do a better job? Scott Schoenweiss? Duaner Sanchez? I believe, Jerry, that the closer's job should be Aaron's to lose.
