7,754: Santana takes no-no into 6th, Mets win 1-0

Saturday, August 7th, 2010
Close, no cigar

Johan Santana took a Mets no-hitter into the sixth inning Saturday night as New York topped the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 at Citizens Bank Park.

Santana lost his no-no on a Placido Polanco single, advancing our NoNoHitters.com count to 7,754 New York Mets games with no such rare feat.

His extended outing allowed us to update our Lost Mets no-hitters that reached at least the fifth inning page for the first time since April 20, when Mike Pelfrey took one against the Chicago Cubs into the fifth. That day, Mike Fontenot poked a one-out sinker the opposite way into left for a line single that ended his bid.

Jeff Francoeur scored the game’s only run by poking an opposite field homer over the right field fence in the seventh inning.

Santana wound up yielding five hits over 7 1/3 innings, and Francisco Rodriguez recorded a 5-out save.

7,736: Davis saves the day after K-Rod blows save

Sunday, July 18th, 2010
Finally

Ike Davis helped the Mets avoid a San Francisco sweep with a 10th-inning RBI double Sunday as New York topped the Giants 4-3.

Johan Santana threw a gem, but closer Francisco Rodriguez blew the save in the ninth only to get the win in the 10th.

In the ninth, pinch-hitter Travis Ishikawa hit a two-run single to tie the game, but he was later called out at the plate trying to score on a Freddy Sanchez choppy grounder to third. David Wright’s throw home was high and Henry Blanco dropped down the tag, but Ishikawa clearly slid in underneath.

Davis’ blast off the high brick wall in right field scored Jason Bay in the 10th, and K-Rod was able to hold on to the win despite allowing runners on first and second.

Santana threw eight innings, giving up just one earned run on eight hits and a walk. He lost his no-hitter on a Freddy Sanchez first-inning single, advancing our NoNoHitters.com count to 7,736 New York Mets games with no no-no.

7,728: Santana’s complete-game, homer lifts Mets to 3-0 win

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
Santana helps his cause

Johan Santana threw a three-hit complete game shutout – and helped his cause with his first career home run – to lead the New York Mets to a 3-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field Tuesday night.

Santana gave up that critical first hit (at least as far as this site is concerned) on the opening at bat when Brandon Phillips lead off with a double. That advanced our NoNoHitters.com count to 7,728 New York Mets games with no no-no and made us update our No-hitters killed by first at bat page.

But he didn’t allow too much other than that, yielding just two more hits (singles in the sixth and ninth) and three walks while striking out five.

Santana got the Mets on the board in the third with his first career home run. The Mets’ other runs came on a Jason Bay sixth-inning single.
