The New York Mets have surprisingly had a decent season so far. They have actually managed to stay above .500 and are right now among the contending pack for the AL East. It's very early in the season but they are still hanging around. Yesterday, however, was a very notable moment in their franchise's history. Last night the Mets were in their own Citi Field going against the Cardinals with Johan Santana pitching. Santana pitched a gem on the mound allowing a few walks but no hits. He managed to finish the game with a no hitter thanks to some great fielding and a miss umpire call in the sixth. Mets win it 8-0 while Johan Santana pitches the first ever no hitter in Mets history.
A long time coming for the New York Mets and it came with Johan Santana, their best pitcher in the rotation. Truly a remarkable moment for New York baseball. Santana threw 134 pitches on the night striking out 8 and walking 5. He was phenomenal and his name will definitely stay in the record books when it comes to Mets lore. To be the first to do anything that significant with any franchise makes you very beloved. Congratulations Johan Santana on achieving something long overdue.
