Santos struggles in loss to Twins

03/30/2006
Twins at the plate: Minnesota benefited from a ball lost in the sun to push across a run in the first inning on Justin Morneau's RBI double. Matt Moses, who singled in his first at-bat, hit his first homer to open the fourth, an inning that featured Luis Rodriguez's RBI single.
Pirates at the plate: Joe Randa's single in the bottom of the first tied the game. Nate McLouth's RBI single in the next inning gave the Pirates their second run, but they would not score again until the sixth. Nate McLouth had three hits.
Twins on the mound: Left-hander Johan Santana didn't dominate the Pirates in his five-inning outing, but the former Cy Young winner was efficient in holding them to a pair of runs on five hits. Right-hander Willie Eyre followed Santana and got knocked around. In one-third of an inning, Eyre gave up three runs on four hits.
Pirates on the mound: Right-hander Victor Santos didn't pitch like a man who was trying to nail down a rotation spot. The 29-year-old went 4 1/3 innings and gave up seven runs on 12 hits.
Grapefruit League records: Twins 17-13; Pirates 15-15-1.
