HBT: Santana can't even last 2 innings in return

Mets left-hander Johan Santana had a 3.24 ERA in 17 starts before the All-Star break, looking like a candidate for Comeback Player of the Year honors.

But his second half has been much less impressive.

Santana was hammered for?eight earned runs on eight hits Saturday night against the Braves before being forced from the game with one out in the second inning and has now yielded 24 runs over his past 14 frames. He was recently given three weeks off due to an ankle sprain ? this was his first start back ? but that period of rest clearly didn?t help anything. In fact, the eight runs in less than two frames represent the worst results of his career.

Santana has a 4.58 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 112 total innings this season and a 7.98 ERA since throwing 134 pitches in his no-hitter against the Cardinals on the first of June. He?ll get the first-place Nationals next.
