MINNEAPOLIS -- Carlos Santana could fit in just fine in a number of different places in the Cleveland lineup. Manager Terry Francona likes Santana batting leadoff, though, and has written Santana's name at the top of the lineup card in all 15 games so far this season.
Having the switch-hitting Santana bat leadoff proved successful on Thursday as the Cleveland first baseman notched a pair of RBI doubles and had three total hits in the Indians' 6-2 victory over Minnesota.
Things set up nicely for Santana as Cleveland was able to roll over its lineup twice for him with runners in scoring position.
