I dont hit too many home runs, but this one counted," Blanco said. New York opened the scoring with Bays sacrifice fly in the first. Pagan led off with a walk and eventually made his way home, then made it a 3-0 game an inning later with a two-run triple to the wall in left. Ike Davis drew a leadoff walk, Jeff Francoeur was hit by a pitch and both moved up on a successful sacrifice bunt by Santana before scoring. Uribe saved a fourth run with an inning-ending stab to rob Luis Castillo of a base hit. San Francisco came back with a pair of runs in the fourth to cut it to 3-2. Andres Torres and Sandoval opened with singles and moved into scoring position with Eli Whitesides grounder to the right side of the diamond. Huff scored one with a sac fly and Uribe followed with a single to right. Jose Reyes and Bay combined to give the Mets a two-run cushion in the fifth. Reyes worked a free pass with one out, swiped second and scored on a hit-and- run single into left field by Bay. Brandon Medders took over for Wellemeyer and managed to avoid further damage. Santana, meanwhile, settled in to retire nine of 10 batters from the fifth on until Nate Schierholtz began the eighth with a pinch-hit single. Aaron Rowand put runners at the corners with another base hit and Schierholtz was able to cross home on a deep fly to left by Sandoval for a 4-3 affair.
