Johan Santana reeled off a total of 12 strikeouts as the Caracas Leones beat
the Detroit Iron Gloves by a score of 11 to 3.

The Detroit fans didn't appreciate the big day Jorge Posada had.  He doubled
in the 5th inning and belted a three-run homer (his 2nd of the season) in the
9th inning.  Caracas rapped out 15 hits for the afternoon.  

Santana(4-0) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 3 runs. The loss
was charged to Kris Benson(0-3).  He served up 3 homeruns in his 3 innings.

Santana was asked about his big strikeout performance, 'Well, it's a little
odd when you rack up these numbers on the road - instead of cheers and a
running tally in the stands, everything gets real still and quiet.  Just
strange - but it's nice to be able to take the crowd out of the game.'
