Santana pitches first Mets no-hitter, but two are injured?

It would seem that the perfect night for the Mets was not so perfect after all.

Santana pitched what was the first no-hitter the New York Mets have ever seen, putting on a great performance at Citi Park. Even though he threw 132 pitches, it appears he is doing fine and his arm suffered no ill consequences.

Mike Baxter and Ramon Ramirez, however, were not so lucky. The have been put on the disabled list for now, and their injuries make what might have been a great celebration little more than a costly game for the Mets. Even more worrisome, can Santana keep it up? Pushing a strong pitcher like this to his limits can only make or break his career.

After all, if it can break a rookie kid out of college ball, it can break a regular pitcher like Santana just the same. Only time will tell, though.
