The Numbers:
- Johan Santana got the complete game loss tonight, letting up 4 runs and striking out 7 Astros.
- David Wright hit a game-tying homer, his 18th of the year.
- F-Mart drove in the game’s first run in the first inning tonight.
- Jose Reyes had 2 hits, a sac fly, and an RBI.
This loss had its upside and downside. Johan was great tonight, resting the bullpen. Unfortunately, he didn’t have it in the first inning when he gave up a 3-run homer to Hunter Pence.
Wright showing power tonight was great, even though Luis Castillo could probably homer over the left field wall in Houston…
Grade for the Game: C
