The Mets take on the Padres in the 3rd game of this 4 game memorial day series and came away a 6-1 win last night. First pitch today will be a 1:10 PM on PIX 11.
We’ve got a nice pitching matchup going today as the Padres will send Clayton Richard (2-5, 4.63 ERA) to face Johan Santana (1-2, 3.24 ERA). They key to todays game as it is with all games that Santana takes the hill, is run support. In his last start, the Mets spotted Santana with 4 runs but were given up in the 7th inning by Santana.
