Jeter helps chase Santana in rout
- Share via
NEW YORK — Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees hammered Johan Santana in the worst start of his career, defeating the Mets, 15-0, Sunday for the biggest blowout in Subway Series history.
Jeter finished four for four and the Yankees got two-run home runs from Hideki Matsui and Robinson Cano in a nine-run fourth inning, chasing Santana.
Santana (8-4) didn’t look right all day. The velocity on his fastball was down, about 89 to 90 mph, and he gave up four two-out runs in the second inning.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner worked a 1-2-3 third inning against Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez and Cano but failed to get another out.
