Mets top Yankees, 7-4!

The New York Mets defeated the  New York Yankees, 7-4 yesterday at Yankee Stadium.

   Mets ace Johan Santana got the win, his fifth of the season. Santana wasn't dominant as he surrendered three solo homers to the Yanks, but as usual, he had enough to get it done. Johan seems able, in almost every outing, to give the Mets a chance to win.

Billy Wagner, who caused another stir on Thursday by calling out his teammates, came on for a four out save. Wagner entered in the eight inning and was effective. Something he is apparently willing to do more of; "I've told Willie Randolph, I am willing to do this when needed"

The Mets also flashed some defense as Carlos Beltran threw out Derek Jeter trying to stretch a single into a double, and Ryan Church's relay hit Luis Castillo who pegged Johnny Damon at the plate.

With seven rune scored, the offense obviously showed up as well. Jose Reyes cracked a home run and Carlos Beltran had an  RBI single.

The Mets showed a little spirit and fire yesterday, things sorely lacking much of the season. With any luck, it will continue tonight as Oliver Perez takes the mound against Chen-Meing Wang.
