 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Johan Santana won his 17th consecutive decision, moving within three of Roger Clemens' AL record as the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1 Tuesday night.
Santana (4-0) allowed one run and five hits in eight innings, struck out eight and walked one. The AL Cy Young Award winner has not lost in 20 starts since a 2-0 defeat against Detroit last July 11.
After Lew Ford hit a go-ahead single in the top of the ninth, Joe Nathan pitched the bottom half for his sixth save in six chances.
