Well, the Mets split the first 2 in this Arizona series, but lost the next 2. Jon Garland pitched a complete game on Sunday, and after trailing 6-0 in the second inning, the Mets chipped away at the mighty Dan Haren. The Amazin's scored 5 runs off him, but it wasn't enough. Nelson Figueroa was the goat in this game, getting a chance to play for the big club an ruining it. Well, once again the Mets turn to their ace, Johan Santana to get the team back to winning ways against the Cardinals, who he beat in a pitchers duel vs. Chris Carpenter earlier in 2009. He will be opposed by Joel Pineiro. Jon Niese will start game 2 vs. Kyle Lohse to wrap up the mini 2-game-series and the 10 game homestand.
The Mets are now 8 games behind the Rockies in the Wild Card standings, and 10 back of the Phillies in the division.
