Sunday's goodbye to Shea Stadium revolves around a meaningful game. Johan Santana pitches a shutout against the Marlins on just three days rest. He gives up a double in the ninth, sandwiched between too strikeouts. A scary fly ball to the warning track in right ended the game, and the Mets live to play another day. Milwaukee's magic number for the Wild Card remains at two. The Mets play at 1:10 tomorrow, with the Brewers starting an hour later.

Santana finished with three hits and three walks allowed. He struck out nine batters and finishes with a 2.53 ERA, the best in the National League. That performance will stick in the minds of Cy Young voters as they cast their ballots next week.
