New York lost to Tampa Bay 3-1, but Santana looked a lot sharper than he had recently. "A lot of people were panicking and a lot of people were making comments that had nothing to do with the stuff that I do," Santana said. "We were able to tell that something was wrong, put it back together and work on it. And you know, I feel much better today." Santana went 7 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on three hits. He struck out three, and walked the same number of batters. "Johan was back to normal. I didn't think it would be a thing that would last a long time with him," Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. "I felt very confident that he would have a good outing." |
