 DETROIT (AP) - The anticipated matchup between a two-time Cy Young Award winner and a former American League Rookie of the Year never materialized.
Joe Mauer hit his first career grand slam and Johan Santana scattered five hits over six innings, outpitching Justin Verlander and leading the Minnesota Twins past the Detroit Tigers 11-1 on Friday night.
Verlander (9-3) gave up two runs in the first inning and Mauer broke the game open with his grand slam in the fifth. Verlander walked five batters, four of which scored, in five innings. He gave up four hits and struck out five.
