The New York Mets haven’t won a series on the road since a visit to Miami last season. Having Johan Santana on the mound could help them get off to a strong start on their eight-game trip. Santana looks for another solid outing against Florida on Thursday when New York tries to solve Marlins ace Josh Johnson for the second time this season. The Mets open a four-game series following a 3-3 homestand that ended with a 6-4 loss to Washington on Wednesday. New York had the bases loaded and a chance to break the game open in the fifth inning, but Jeff Francoeur’s liner to right field was caught by a diving Roger Bernadina, who later hit a two-run homer off Francisco Rodriguez in the ninth. New York will try to win its first road series since taking two of three from the Marlins from Sept. 25-27. While the Mets have a major league-best 14 home wins, they have dropped two of three in each of their first four road series.
New York could open this series on a positive note with Santana taking the ball. The veteran left-hander has an 11.12 ERA in two May outings, but he is 6-1 with a 1.66 ERA in eight starts against the Marlins. Making his fifth opening day start, Santana allowed one run and four hits while striking out five over six innings to beat Florida 7-1 on April 5. Prior to walking four and giving up four runs in that defeat, Johnson was 7-0 with a 2.30 ERA in nine starts against New York. Johnson, who is 4-0 with a 2.14 ERA in five home starts versus the Mets, will try to help the Marlins avoid losing four straight at Sun Life Stadium for the first time since May 20-23. Florida, which plays 16 of its next 21 at home, ended a 3-3 trip with a 4-3 loss to Chicago on Wednesday. The Marlins had a chance for their first three-game winning streak and series sweep of the season.
