Mets 9, Giants 6
Johan Santana gave up a season-high six runs (four earned) in seven innings. (George Nikitin/AP)
By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com
Though the Mets' defense didn't help Johan Santana in his worst start of the year, the left-hander still earned the victory thanks to New York pouncing for seven runs off Randy Johnson. Carlos Beltran and David Wright each had two-run doubles in the Mets' big innings.
