SAN DIEGO (AP) -Padres second baseman Tadahito Iguchi will miss four to six weeks with a separated shoulder after he tumbled while running the bases against the New York Mets on Thursday night. ``We've been hit hard, especially on the pitching side,'' Padres manager Bud Black said Friday. ``It's not good. He's a steady, dependable, intelligent player. He really knows how to play. He was very much a stabilizing force on the infield.'' Iguchi suffered the injury on a bizarre play in the seventh inning o |

| (Best E Casino) - After signing Johan Santana to a monster six-year extension upon his acquisition this past offseason, the New York Mets would love to see him win his 200th game in his new uniform. Santana takes the first step towards that goal tonight, when his club continues a four-game series with the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Santana won the 100th game of his career last time out, defeating the Dodgers on Sunday. The 29-year-old held Los Angeles to a run on six hits over 7 2/3 innings, while str |

Miller, a 6-foot-6, 210-pound southpaw, allowed three hits and two earned runs over five innings his last time out, getting a no-decision in Florida's 7-5 loss at Philadelphia. He'd been beaten by the New York Mets one start earlier and hasn't won since May 22, when he pitched seven scoreless innings in the Marlins' 4-0 blanking of Arizona. Miller has never faced the Reds.

An 11th-round pick in 2002, Bergmann allowed just three hits and struck out nine in seven innings against the New York Mets on May 15, picking up his lone win of 2008. He's 0-1 with two no-decisions since, including a 4-0 loss at Arizona on Saturday. Bergmann gave up seven hits and four runs in eight innings in that game, but was outdueled by the Diamondbacks' Brandon We |

As the video board replayed the shot, fans called Jones out of the dugout. ``That was my second curtain call here in Atlanta,'' he said, before reciting details of a three-run homer off New York Mets pitcher Al Leiter in 1999. Only two curtain calls? Jones said that's fine with him. ``This is a town that's laid back and it fits my personality,'' he said.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -The New York Mets purchased the contract of Brian Burgamy from the Newark Bears of the independent Atlantic League on Thursday. Burgamy was hitting .265 with six doubles, three home runs and 14 RBIs. His on-base percentage was .420 and he led the team in walks, reaching base in 28 consecutive games. Burgamy was versatile in the field, too. He started games at five positions - each of the outfield spots, second base and third - and even pitched a scoreless inning in his most recent g |

Smoltz began this season on the DL, then pitched extremely well in his first four starts. But he lasted only four innings against the New York Mets on April 27, giving up seven hits and four runs. It might go down as the final start of his career. If that's the case, Smoltz has no complaints. He got to spend his entire big league career with one team, and nearly all of it playing for the same |
