Sports: Twins tame Yankees, 6-2

The New York Yankees put runners on, fouled off pitches and did everything they could to get to Johan Santana. The Twins’ ace just kept going, and his season is starting to look very familiar. Santana pitched seven crisp innings to win his fourth straight start and Jason Kubel hit a tiebreaking homer that helped Minnesota beat the Yankees 6-2 Wednesday. “I felt pretty good and I was throwing my fastball and locating it,” Santana said. “That was the most important thing, to locate my fastball, and I was able to do it.”
