Johan Santana (1-0) went 5 2/3 innings Monday, extending his streak without a loss since July 9, and the bullpen didn't allow a hit the rest of the way. Sean Green got the final out of the sixth and cruised through a perfect seventh. J.J. Putz gave up a walk in the eighth. Francisco Rodriguez retired all three in the ninth, which was a huge problem last season when Santana pitched. The left-hander watched the bullpen blow five of his leads in the ninth inning last year.
