Santana wins fourth
Photos
Mets 12, Reds 6
Johan Santana allowed three runs in six innings to improve to 4-2. (Bill Kostroun/AP)
Johan Santana was merely good in Saturday's opener of a split doubleheader against the Reds, but with Carlos Beltran on his side, that was more than enough. Beltran drove in a season-high five runs, Carlos Delgado and Brian Schneider homered and Santana improved to 4-2.
