(by Brett Kahn with notes from Dan Canfield Berman)No one doubted the fact that Johan Santana would fit nicely in a Mets uniform. It was the other 24 players that fans worried about this Spring. However a 6-2 victory over the division rival Florida Marlins opened the book on what most are saying could be a phenomenal year.
Santana took a no-hitter into the fifth inning, but Josh Willingham wasn't going to allow the first Mets no-hitter to come on his turf as he hit a two-run homer to put the Marlins on the board.
David Wright led the offensive charge for the Mets going 2-4 with 3 RBI's, including a bases clearing double in the fourth inning. New faces Angel Pagan and Ryan Church each added a hit and an RBI to help cement a 6-2 victory and Santana's first win as a Met.
Tomorrow, Pedro Martinez will make his season debut against the Marlins' Rick VandenHurk. Game time is set for 7:10 EST.
