SP FA
Johan Santana picked up his first victory of the season on Saturday, limiting the Diamonbacks to three runs on nine hits over seven innings of work.
Santana struck out five and walked one in the game. He's been extremely impressive in the early part of the season, with a 2.61 ERA and 34/12 strikeout to walk ratio through his first 31 innings. While he doesn't have quite the velocity that he did in his hey day, he still owns that devastating changeup and his displayed impeccable control thus far. He'll look to continue his resurgence when he squares off against the Marlins in Miami next week.
