NEW YORK, July 27 (UPI) -- Johan Santana pitched a complete-game six-hitter Sunday in a 9-1 New York Mets victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
The win followed Saturday night's 14-inning, 10-8 loss.
Albert Pujols spoiled Santana's shutout bid with a solo homer in the top of the seventh. His two-run blast was the game-winner on Saturday.
Santana also helped himself at the plate with two hits and one RBI.
David Wright, Fernando Tatis and Ramon Castro hit homers, with Tatis's two-run shot increasing New York's lead to 5-0 with no outs in the bottom of the sixth.
Tatis and Wright had three hits apiece with two RBI.
Two others had one RBI and three added two hits for the Mets, who won two contests in the three-game series.
Santana (9-7) walked one and fanned five.
Losing pitcher Kyle Lohse (12-3) surrendered seven earned runs on 11 hits in five innings.
He had beaten the Mets 7-1 on June 30 in St. Louis.
