Santana makes first home start for Mets

Apr 12, 2008 - 12:49 PM Milwaukee (6-4) at NY Mets (5-4) 1:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - New York Mets' fans have waited a long time to see the the team's new ace.

The wait will end on Saturday when Johan Santana makes his much-anticipated home debut as the Mets continue a three-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Santana (1-1, 1.93 ERA), a two-time Cy Young Award winner, was acquired from Minnesota for four prospects and signed to a record-breaking seven-year, $137.5 million contract this offseason.

After winning his first start, Santana allowed just one run and seven hits in seven innings of a 3-1 loss at Atlanta on Sunday.

The Brewers will counter with their staff ace - Ben Sheets.

Sheets (1-0, 0.00) is off to a terrific start, having thrown 15 1/3 scoreless innings over two starts. The righthander recorded his second career shutout, as he allowed just five hits and struck out eight in a 7-0 victory over San Francisco on Sunday.

New York may be without All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes, who left Friday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee due to tightness in his left hamstring.
