Johan Santana has given doubts that he may not be ready for the regular season. Until yesterday. Santana pitched against a full St. Louis Cardinal lineup and he seemed back to his vintage self. Santana got saddled with the loss in his efforts, 2-1.
Santana went 6 innings, allowing 6 hits, 1 earned run, and striking out 6. Santana also walked 0 batters which was a great sign for going forward. Santana looked prime for Opening Day, a sign that the Mets desperately needed.
Jordany Valdespin was also a bright spot for the Mets in the loss. The Mets were down 1-0 in the 9th inning when Valdespin hit a solo homer to tie the game at 1. His clutch home run I'm sure will stick with Collins as he considers players for call-ups as the season progresses.
With opening day on the horizon, the Mets need to have more bright spots like these and less injuries.
