Mets win 1-0.

Johan can carry us through the postseason this year… If we can just make the postseason this year.

Santana (2-1) has allowed only one earned run in 19 2/3 innings so far this season. A ridiculous 0.46 ERA. The Mets high powered offense has scored a whopping four runs during Johan’s three starts.

Jose Reyes is the hero at the plate with the game’s only RBI. If of course you can consider a fielders choice, run scoring ground out the definition of a hero.

More importantly, the Mets 1-2 punch in the bullpen with Putz and Rodriguez has shortened the games to 7 innings. Both locked down the win today allowing only one base runner combined.

The strength in the bullpen takes care of 1/2 of the issues that affect Johan’s ability to win 25 – 30 games this season.

If, and this is a much bigger if, the Mets offense doesn’t take a day off every time Johan pitches and instead performs like they should, we could be watching the greatest pitching season of the modern era.
