Santana's three hits lead Twins past Blue Jays

Ervin Santana went 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts. He finishes Grapefruit League play with a 1.77 ERA. His next start will be in the season opener against the Orioles in Baltimore on Monday.

"I feel great," Santana said. "Everything was down, which was good. It was my last outing and a good finish so I'm ready."

Santana, though, wasn't helped by his defense in a three-run fifth for the Blue Jays. After a one-out single from Melky Mesa, Roemon Fields reached on an error from shortstop Eduardo Escobar.
