The Mets came into the last game of this Arizona series needing a win They did just that by winning today, 5-2. A strong outing by Santana aloud the Mets to win, giving up just one run in six innings of work. Santana had eight strikeouts with six hits and four walks. Santana would leave today's game with a no decision and an ERA just below three. The bullpen today in three innings of work almost blew it when Joe Smith in relief gave up a run to tie the game in the seventh, 2-2. In the seventh, it all came alive when the Mets’ bats came alive with an error by Jackson to give the Mets a 5-2 lead in the eighth to close out the victory. Wagner closed the game and received his seventh save of the year.

The big play of the game came when Ryan Church made an assist at third throwing out Burke, who may have been a little greedy heading third from a throwing error from Feliciano. Jorge Sosa received the win for the game, which makes him a surprising 4-1 on the year with a 6.38 ERA. The big hitter for the Mets came from David Wright, who went 1-4 with a homerun.  Jose Reyes was 1-4 with two RBI. The Mets head into a hot Los Angeles team, needing to come away with momentum when they face the Reds. The Pirates’ loss 13-1 in the last series could have woken this Mets team.  Hopefully, this is the start to a contending team.. MANILA, April 24 (Reuters) - A new drug-resistant malaria strain found near the Cambodian and Thai border was threatening global efforts to control and eradicate the disease, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Friday. In many parts of the world, malaria deaths have been declining, particularly in Zambia where fatalities have fallen by two-thirds since 2000, the WHO said.

But the campaign to eradicate the disease is at risk from a new strain of drug-resistant malaria first detected in 2007 in the Mekong area, Shin Young-soo, regional director of WHO Western Pacific area, said in a statement on Friday. "We have to act now to contain this problem within the Mekong region. It must not be allowed to spread and become a regional and international threat," Shin said. Latest clinical tests on about 20-50 people infected with the new strain and treated with artemisinin, the most effective drug available to fight the disease, confirmed that it was becoming resistant, said the WHO's Eva Christophel, a malaria expert. "We have obtained scientific evidence that this is very unusual," Christophel told Reuters.

"This is really worrying." In most malaria cases, people are freed of the parasite in their blood after only three days of artemisinin intake, said Christophel. But for people who were infected with the new strain, the reaction to the drug was much slower.(Reporting by Manny Mogato; Editing by Rosemarie Francisco) France France.
