 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Bartolo Colon bested Johan Santana, ending the Minnesota ace's 17-game winning streak by allowing just two hits in 7 1-3 scoreless innings of the Los Angeles Angels' 2-1 victory over the Twins on Sunday afternoon.
Santana (4-1) allowed only two hits himself, equaling his career low, but they were solo home runs by Vladimir Guerrero and Jose Molina. The AL's reigning Cy Young Award winner struck out seven over eight innings yet lost for the first time since last July 11, a span of 21 regular-season starts.
Santana's previous two-hit game, coincidentally, was also his last loss — a 2-0 decision to the Detroit Tigers at the Metrodome right before the 2004 All-Star break.
