When your lineup looks like this, you many think you know where you’re going to get your numbers from. Not so much today. Sure, David Wright drove in two runs, but the real story was the obscure players who contributed.
Cory Sullivan and Angel Berroa combined for three hits, two runs scored and three RBIs in the Mets 7-0 win over the Colorado Rockies.
Johan Santana turned in another gem, allowing only four hits over seven innings. He walked only one while striking out eight. Santana retired the first eight batters and the last seven batters that faced him.
The Mets stitched together five straight hits in the second inning (six overall), plating five runs. They added runs in the fifth on a Wright sac-fly and two innings later on a Wright double.
Wright moved into a tie with Keith Hernandez for 10th on the Mets all-time list and now has sole possession of 5th on the Mets all-time RBI list.
An all-around solid game for the Mets fifth victory in a row. If they can pull off a sweep of the Rockies by taking both games of today’s doubleheader, then things really start to get interesting.
