JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - Johan Santana resembled the pitcher on
Sunday that many call the premier left-hander in the game the last
six years.
Santana pitched four scoreless innings against the Marlins,
allowing three hits in his second spring training start since
undergoing surgery on his left elbow in September.
Santana and fellow Venezuelan Anibal Sanchez left a scoreless
game before the Marlins did all their scoring in the fifth off John
Maine in a 5-1 victory.
"I was able to throw all my pitches. I was more consistent
keeping the ball down and throwing the ball better than last
time," Santana said. "The most important thing is I don't feel
anything in my elbow."
