Blanco's HR in 11th gives Mets second straight late-inning win
Baseball Betting Lines
05/08/2010 - Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henry Blanco's first home run as a Met gave New York a 5-4 win over San Francisco in 11 innings, the club's ninth consecutive win at Citi Field.
Blanco ended 3-for-5 in place of starter Rod Barajas, whose home run in the bottom of the ninth Friday handed New York a 6-4 win in the series opener. Barajas sat out Saturday's game with an injury to his left index finger.
Jason Bay and Angel Pagan each drove in two runs for the Mets, who are riding the franchise's longest home winning streak since an 11-game tear at Shea Stadium from August 5-24, 2006.
Johan Santana was charged with four runs on eight hits with six strikeouts against zero walks in 7 2/3 innings of work. It was the longest outing by a Mets starter this season and was a noted improvement on Sunday's dreadful performance in which the two-time AL Cy Young winner was battered for 10 runs in just 3 2/3 innings against the Phillies.
Hisanori Takahashi (3-1) was credited with the win after tossing a spotless top half of the 11th.
Aubrey Huff had two RBI for the Giants, who entered this weekend series coming off a three-game road sweep of the Marlins. Juan Uribe and Pablo Sandoval also knocked in a run, while Guillermo Mota (0-1) took the loss.
Todd Wellemeyer was touched for four runs on three hits and five walks in a 4 1/3-inning start.
