You read that right.
The New York Giants Yankees (36-27) beat the New York Jets Mets (32-29) by a score of 15-0.
Johan Santana did not have his best stuff. In fact, he had his worst stuff. His worst career start, to the tune of nine earned runs in three-plus innings. He walked two and struck out three. Santana was removed after only 60 pitches. His velocity was down, usually off by three to five miles per hour.
Not good. Not good at all. He told reporters afterward that he was “sore.” Likely story.
Brian Stokes made his first appearance in nine days, allowing four earned runs to score in two innings of work. Jon Switzer allowed two runs in 1 1-3 innings.
Stokes will likely not pitch again until they face the Yankees again in two weeks.
The Mets bats were quieted by a very impressive performance by A.J. Burnett. Gary Sheffield picked up two hits as the designated hitter. David Wright stretch his hitting streak to 10 games with a single. Unfortunately, his multiple hit streak ended at six.
Can someone explain why Sheffield, who will be getting an MRI on a gimpy right knee played an entire game in a 15-0 game? Sure, he was just DH-ing, but still.
