Johan Santana and the Mets play small ball and win 5-1

I was surprised to see Santana on first and seeing Angel Pagan sacrifice him over to 2nd base after already having 2 hits in the game. I mean maybe he was trying for an infield hit but still Mets accomplished a lot on a night that Johan shut out the Braves for 7 innings.

The Mets even had a suicide squeeze in the 9th that was effective. For as day the Mets did there best to execute on the base paths and scored 5 whole runs. For a team that has averaged a little over 3 runs since June 1st thats an accomplishment.

Can everyone stop saying Pedro Feliciano has been lights out. Every time people start saying that he starts becoming like Bobby Parnell and does not get anyone out. The Mets used 4 pitchers in the bottom of the 8th inning to get 3 outs. I know K Rod usually never pitches in the 8th innings but when you need to use 4 pitchers I think that is a good time for K Rod to come in.
