Twins, Santana rocked in 17-4 loss to Indians

CLEVELAND -- As much as Torii Hunter loves hitting here, it seems fair to say Ervin Santana loathes pitching at Progressive Field.

Three of the eight shortest starts of his 303-start career have now come at the home of the Cleveland Indians.

Saturday night, the Twins right-hander was knocked out after retiring just seven batters in a 17-4 loss.

Charged with eight earned runs after allowing 10 hits, Santana saw his career earned-run average jump to 6.62 at the place formerly known as The Jake. That's his second-worst figure for any park at which he's made more than four starts.
