Johan Santana, New York Mets pitcher
Mets 7 – Yankees 4
Johan Santana pitched 7-2/3 strong innings in the first game of the Subway Series that was shortened after Friday’s game was postponed due to rain. Santana did give up three home runs to Derek Jeter, Jason Giambi, and Bobby Abreau, but it just wasn’t enough. Jose Reyes and David Wright both homered for the Mets helping lead them to a 7-4 win over their cross town rivals. It was Santana’s longest outing of the season and pushed his interleague record to an impressive 17-4.
White Sox 3 – Giants 1
Barry Zito’s woes continued Saturday, he got his eighth loss of the season. It is the first time a Giants pitcher has started a season 0-8 since 1890. Mark Buerhle was the benefactor of Zito’s bad luck this time. Buerhle pitched 6-2/3 innings and gave up just one run on seven hits. This win makes him 15-6 in interleague play. Randy Winn had a single in the first inning to extend his hitting streak to twelve games.
Other notes of interest:
For the second straight day Alfonso Soriano hit two home runs. It is the second time in his career he has had back to back multi-homer games in his career. He now has 20 hits in his last 37 at-bats.
Red Sox and Brewers infielders combined for seven errors in the nightcap of their day-night doubleheader.
Adam Dunn’s walk-off home run that reached the last row in the stands, just shy of leaving the stadium, was his third in as many days.
Ichiro Suzuki stole third base in the first inning, it was his 290th career stolen base, it tied him with Julio Cruz as the all-time franchise leader in stolen bases.
