Pitching on just three days rest , the Mets stud ace Johan Santana showed why he was worth every penny of the $137.5 million contract he signed back in March.
With the Mets wild card hopes all but done, Santana pitched a complete game shut out, striking out nine, in route to the Mets 3-0 win over Florida. With Milwaukee losing, both the Mets and Brewers go into the final day of the regular season tied for the NL wild card lead.
