A nasty pitch from Francisco Rodriguez and a great throw by Omir Santos (who is this guy?) — strike-’em-out, throw-’em-out — and the game is over. Santos, who played 10 games for the Orioles last year, not only made a perfect throw, he was up out of the crouch faster than any catcher I’ve seen in a long time.
So Johan Santana gets a win and the Mets move above .500.
