Santana loses first start post-ASB: Angels SP Ervin Santana (11-4) was charged with four runs -- three earned -- and seven hits over seven innings during Monday's 5-2 loss against the Indians, his first start since pitching in his first All-Star game. He struck out eight and walked none. Santana was hurt by a Andy Marte solo homer and a two-run homer from Casey Blake. (Updated 07/22/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Santana had won three straight decisions coming into Monday. He has allowed three or more earned runs in three of his last five starts. Let's hope this isn't the unraveling of the All-Star pitcher since he has been great after an abysmal 2007. Santana remains a high-end Fantasy SP until further notice. His next scheduled start is for Sunday against the Orioles. (Updated 07/22/2008).

Advice
Santana, who improved to 11-3 with a 3.34 ERA this year, didn't even seem pleased with his pitching. "I don't feel like I had that kind of energy," Santana said. "I've had better stuff. I tried to keep the score close."
