Johan Santana, now has pitched 3 straight complete games two of them for losses. Not just he has the least run support in the NL, but he had 9 K's. When you strike out so many hitters and only allowed 2 runs, you deserve the win. 2 runs and 9 strikeouts are good. Especially with 4 no-hit innings. It made me upset that all they gave him was a first inning run. The night before Jon Niese gave up as many runs as Johan (1 run in 5 innings) and got 5 runs. On Friday night, Mike Pelfrey gave up as many runs, and got 7 runs.
What can be done to make the offense productive? Its really a shame that such stellar starting pitching all season long has gone for naught. Imagine What Santana's record might be if he were pitching for a team whose run productive is at the league average.
