In his first home start, Johan Santana will take the loss as the Mets fall to the Brewers in game 2 of the three game series. Santana gave up 3 home runs while striking out 5 in 6.2 innings of work. The Mets bullpen, by the grace of the baseball gods, did not give up any more runs and only allowed one hit through the next 2.1 innings of work. Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets will take the win, going 7.2 innings with only 5 hits and 3 runs.

On the bright side, one of those runs came from a 2 out solo shot off the bat of David Wright, leaving him only one home run away from reaching the milestone 100.

Tomorrow the Mets will face the Brewers in the rubber game of the series. LHP Oliver Perez will take the mound against RHP Jeff Suppan. The game is scheduled for a 1:10pm start.
