WEB GEMS- Bot 7th: Johan Santana robbed Matt Stairs of a base hit.
Magglio Ordonez blasted 2 homeruns and Johan Santana was able to finish what
he started and was credited with a complete game as the Pittsburgh Pirates
topped the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 10 to 2 at Great American
Bpk.
Ordonez was a one-man wrecking crew. He belted a three-run homer in the 3rd
inning, cleared the bases with a Grand Slam homerun (his 5th of the season)
in the 4th inning and doubled in the 5th inning. Pittsburgh managed 17 in
their victory.
Santana(2-0) allowed 2 runs on the game. Gil Meche(0-1) was the losing
pitcher. He got hit hard, allowing 17 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings.
'It's almost like the ball was trying to hit my bat,' Ordonez said. 'Whenever
I would swing, the ball found the sweet spot.'
