NEW YORK — Derek Lowe outlasted Johan Santana in a matchup of aces, pitching the Atlanta Braves to an 8-3 victory Monday that ended the New York Mets’ seven-game winning streak.
In a season-long trend that has become maddening for the Mets, they provided Santana with little support on offense or defense. Jose Reyes’ two-out error in the seventh inning led to four runs, saddling Santana (4-2) with his second loss this season when he did not give up an earned run.
Santana was pulled after 108 pitches with the score tied, 1-1. He lowered his NL-best ERA to 0.78 through seven starts.
