Santana's slow down continues

After starting the season 6-0 through seven starts, Ervin Santana hasn't looked the same over his last two outings. He is currently down 4-1 to the Dodgers in the fourth inning after giving up a two-run home run to rookie Blake DeWitt and RBI singles to Andre Ethier and Russell Martin. In his last start, last weekend at Tampa Bay, Santana gave up a season-high five earned runs in an eve ntual no-decision.

Santana is seeking to become just the third Angels pitcther to start a season with a 7-0 record. Jered Weaver did it in 2006m eventually taking his record to 9-0. Aaron Sele opened 2004 with a 7-0 mark.
