Santana Shutout

Johan Santana used Shea Stadium to his advantage as he pitches a complete game shutout against the New York Mets. Amazingly, Santana only struck out one batter in the game! In his five previous complete games, Santana averaged 10.2 K per 9. Santana got more balls in the air than on the ground, and used just 92 pitches to finish the game. That's one advantage of getting the hitters to make contact, you don't wear yourself out.
