Post-Game: Mets 4 Nationals 3
Apr. 25, 2009 (MetsBlog delivered by Newstex ) --

The Mets (7?9) defeated the Nationals (3-12), 4 to 3, in Citi (NYSE:C) Field.

For a full recap and boxscore, go to?SNY.tv.

The least you should know?Johan Santana was magnificent allowing just one run on six hits and a walk, while striking out 10 batters over 6.0 IP. Santanas ERA is now 0.70. The Mets offense struggled again with runners in scoring position, going 2-for-18, leaving 13 on base. Bobby Parnell, Pedro Feliciano and J.J. Putz combined to a pitch two scoreless innings in relief. Despite giving up a two-run homerun in the ninth, Frankie Rodriguez picked up his four save of the season.Other Thoughts?The Mets were a few ill-advised dives by Nationals outfielders away from losing this game. The Citi faithful showered David Wright with boos in the fourth inning after striking out with a runner on third and one out. The Mets inability to drive in runs is a far greater concern to me than any of the starting pitchers not named Santana. Is it me or does Keith Hernandez say, ?I love this kids stuff about every opposing pitcher.The Game Ball?Tonights Game Ball obviously goes to Santana.The Mets continue their three-game series versus the Nationals tomorrow, with Mike Pelfrey facing off against Daniel Cabrera, starting at 1:10 p.m. EDT.Newstex ID: Mets-0001-34404069
