Johan Santana (13-8, 3.10 ERA) P
Santana tries to get the Mets a series win after being embarrassed 15-2 in last night’s slaughtering by the Braves. He’ll face Kenshin Kawakami, who is 5-9 with an ERA over 4. Santana needs to go deep into this game to preserve the bullpen, which has been used a lot recently. The past three Mets starters, Livan Hernandez, Oliver Perez and Bobby Parnell, lasted only 5 1/3, five and three innings, respectively.
