Johnson’s masterpiece wins it for the Marlins

 Johan Santana have not done much wrong in his first two starts for the Mets. In 12 2/3 innings pitched, he’s struck out 20 and only given up one earned run. One expects to have a perfect record when pitching like that.

 Still, he stands at 1-1 in the wins and losses columns. Much of the reason for that came from the hands of Josh Johnson today. The Marlin hurler dazzled the Mets hitters in the complete game 2-1 win. He didn’t give up a hit until the sixth and the lone run came in the final inning. He now stands at 2-0 with a 0.57 ERA for the season.

 Florida will now get a really tough challenge on their hands. They travel to Atlanta in a clash between the two hottest teams of the majors so far in the young season. That should make for some exciting baseball!!
