Johan Santana held Atlanta to 2 hits as the Minnesota Twins outscored the
Atlanta Braves 5 to 1.
Atlanta fell behind quickly as the Minnesota offense came through in the first
inning with 2 runs utilizing 2 base hits. Ichiro Suzuki led off and keyed
the rally when he smacked a single. Tony Graffanino was next to the plate,
but was promptly struck out. After another out, David Ortiz stepped up to
the plate and he smashed a two-run homer. That early run support was enough
for Santana(2-0) and Minnesota. Minnesota managed 11 hits in their victory.
Mike Mussina(2-1) took the loss. He surrendered 8 hits and 2 walks in 6
innings. 'All of my pitches were working tonight,' Santana said. 'I felt
really good out there, and heck, I think I could have gone longer.'

John Lackey pitched 9 strong innings and third baseman Chipper Jones touched
them all and had 3 RBI at Tropicana Field as the Atlanta Braves embarrassed
the Minnesota Twins by the lopsided score of 13 to 1.
Atlanta took the lead for good in the 4th inning as they scored 2 runs on 1
base hits. The key at-bat was by Jones who silenced Tropicana Field as he
popped a two-run clout over the fence. Atlanta finished with 7 hits in the
victory.
Lackey(1-1) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 1 run. Aaron
Harang(1-1) was the loser. He allowed Atlanta 8 runs in 4 and 1/3 innings of
work.
'I've been working on a few things in my delivery, and I think I'm hitting a
good groove.' Lackey said after the game. 'I'm ready to start another game
tomorrow!'
