Johan Santana extended his dominant start to the season, striking out 10 in seven innings of two-hit ball, and the New York Mets scratched out a run Wednesday night on Pedro Feliz’s throwing error for a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
In their first visit to the Mets’ new ballpark, Citi Field, the Phillies wasted an excellent performance from previously struggling starter Chan Ho Park, who allowed one hit in six shutout innings.
But it wasn’t enough to beat Santana (4-1), who lowered his ERA to 0.91 and won 1-0 for the second time in six starts this year.
Carlos Delgado chugged home from first base on his bad hip when Feliz threw away pinch-hitter Fernando Tatis’ infield single to third with two outs in the seventh.
