Santana, Twins top Tribe, 6-2

Cleveland has now lost six of its last eight games.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Johan Santana rebounded from two poor starts by scattering five hits in seven innings and the Minnesota Twins defeated the Cleveland Indians 6-2 Saturday night.
Jason Bartlett and Justin Morneau each had three hits, and Nick Punto added two for the Twins, who have won 15 of 16 at home to improve to 32-11 there.
Travis Hafner homered for Cleveland, which has lost six of eight.
Mixing a dominant fastball with a nearly unhittable slider and changeup, Santana (10-5) struck out seven and retired 15 of the first 17 Cleveland hitters.
Santana, the AL pitcher of the month in May, allowed nine earned runs in 122/3 innings in his previous two July starts.
Sabathia allows 13 hits
Cleveland starter C.C Sabathia (7-5) allowed four earned runs and a season-high 13 hits in his league-best fourth complete game this year. The AL's top pitcher in June struck out seven.
Sabathia and the Indians fell behind 2-0 after just three Minnesota batters but it wasn't really the fault of the big left-hander.
First baseman Ben Broussard failed to corral Luis Castillo's grounder, and Punto followed with a double into the right field corner. The relay throw to the plate from second baseman Ronnie Belliard was about five feet wide of catcher Victor Martinez, allowing Castillo to score and moving Punto to third base.
Punto, who played third base and center field on Saturday, has hit in 14 of 15 games. He scored on a sacrifice fly by Mike Redmond. A frustrated Sabathia then hit Michael Cuddyer with an 0-2 pitch.
Hafner answered in the second inning with his 27th home run.
Jason Tyner, who had the winning single for the Twins in the 10th inning on Friday, drove home Morneau in the fourth. Morneau, who was 0-for-12 against Sabathia, reached on a bloop double that fell between Broussard, Belliard and right fielder Casey Blake.
Blake doubled with one out in the fifth for Cleveland, which entered averaging 5.57 runs per game, but Santana fanned Broussard and got Aaron Boone to ground out to end the inning.
A single by Cuddyer increased Minnesota's lead to 4-1 in the fifth, before a sacrifice fly by Belliard scored Ramon Vazquez in the sixth to cut Cleveland's deficit to 4-2.
Hunter injured
Center fielder Torii Hunter was taken to a hospital for X-rays on his sore left foot after leaving the game.
Hunter, who struck out swinging in the first inning against Sabathia, came out of the game after playing two innings. He fractured his left ankle last July 30 when he crashed into the wall in Boston, ending his season.
He entered Saturday's game hitting .269 with 14 home runs and 49 RBI. Hunter batted .412 in his previous seven games.
