Twins 4, Phillies 3
Johan Santana has struggled to find his changeup recently, but it's all there now. The American League Cy Young Award winner allowed just one hit in five shutout innings, helping the Minnesota Twins beat a Philadelphia Phillies split squad, 4-3 on Sunday. He walked three and struck out two, lowering his spring ERA to 0.64.
The reigning AL MVP, Justin Morneau, who ended his home run drought on Saturday, homered again for Minnesota and is 5-for-6 in his last two games.
The Phillies didn't bring any regular starters to Fort Myers other than outfielder Shane Victorino, who went 1-for-3 with a single, hitting .432 this spring.
Before the game, the Twins informed Denard Span, the likely heir apparent to Torii Hunter in center, that he had been optioned to AAA Rochester.
