Park Puts on Stellar Pitching Display

South Korea's Park Chan-ho put together a stellar pitching performance for the Philadelphia Phillies in Major League Baseball on Wednesday ― but a lack of run support robbed him of his first win.

The right-hander allowed just one hit in six shutout innings against the New York Mets at Citi Field, but the Phillies couldn't get anything going against Mets ace Johan Santana in a 1-0 loss.

Park fanned five Mets batters, walked one and also hit one batter.

Park's performance is expected to maintain a spot in the Phillies' rotation, according to the team's Web site.

The Mets took a 1-0 lead with two outs and a runner on first in the bottom of the seventh. Pinch-hitter Fernando Tatis hit a broken-bat slow roller up the third-base line. The normally accurate Pedro Feliz barehanded the ball, but threw wildly to first base. It was nowhere near Ryan Howard and went down the first-base line.

Jayson Werth picked up the ball and double-pumped his throw home, which allowed Carlos Delgado to beat the throw to the plate.

Santana allowed two hits and three walks in seven shutout innings. He struck out 10.
