Flushing, NY (Sports Network) – Henry Blancos first home run as a Met gave New York a 5-4 win over San Francisco in 11 innings, the clubs ninth consecutive win at Citi Field. Rob Gronkowski Jersey . Blanco ended 3-for-5 in place of starter Rod Barajas, whose home run in the bottom of the ninth Friday handed New York a 6-4 win in the series opener. Barajas sat out Saturdays game with an injury to his left index finger. Jason Bay and Angel Pagan each drove in two runs for the Mets, who are riding the franchises longest home winning streak since an 11-game tear at Shea Stadium from August 5-24, 2006. Johan Santana was charged with four runs on eight hits with six strikeouts against zero walks in 7 2/3 innings of work. It was the longest outing by a Mets starter this season and was a noted improvement on Sundays dreadful performance in which the two-time AL Cy Young winner was battered for 10 runs in just 3 2/3 innings against the Phillies. Hisanori Takahashi (3-1) was credited with the win after tossing a spotless top half of the 11th. Aubrey Huff had two RBI for the Giants, who entered this weekend series coming off a three-game road sweep of the Marlins. Juan Uribe and Pablo Sandoval also knocked in a run, while Guillermo Mota (0-1) took the loss. Todd Wellemeyer was touched for four runs on three hits and five walks in a 4 1/3-inning start. This was very disappointing, San Francisco catcher Bengie Molina said. We just have to turn the page as quickly as we can. Francisco Rodriguez sent the game to extras with a 1-2-3 ninth, then walked two in the 10th before escaping on a long fly out by Huff to end the inning. Mota was able to retire the side in the 10th, but saw his second-pitch fastball drilled over the left-field wall by Blanco leading off the 11th. Its an unbelievable feeling. 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. Santana exited in favor of Fernando Nieve, who gave up a base hit to Whiteside. Pedro Feliciano came on to allow the tying run, as Huff poked a single into left field. Jenrry Mejia kept it a 4-4 game by striking out Uribe to end the inning. New York had a chance to move in front in the eighth after a Fernando Tatis pinch-hit double left men at the corners. Jeremy Affeldt recovered to get Pagan on a grounder to end the frame. GAME NOTES:Molina left the game after three innings with tightness in his hamstring, while Castillo exited in the eighth for New York with a bone bruise on his left foot…Whiteside took over catching duties for the visitors, and Alex Cora replaced Castillo at second…The Mets had dropped four of five coming into this series…Sundays finale will feature Giants ace Tim Lincecum matching up with New Yorks Oliver Perez…San Francisco stranded seven runners, and the Mets nine.
