Santana gets grief over double

Angels pitchers had plenty to say in the locker room after Ervin Santana’s start on Saturday. It wasn’t that Santana picked up his first road victory that had everybody so talkative. The fact that he had a two-run double had the room buzzing.

“You might be the DH when we get back home,” Scot Shields said across the room.

“Batting champion,” Jered Weaver said while walking past Santana as he was answering postgame questions.

Santana’s double was big news among the pitchers. The starters typically have a friendly wager on who will deliver with the bat in interleague play. As of now, Santana is in front by a comfortable margin. Weaver gets his chance to catch up on Sunday.
