Indians' Carlos Santana: Leads off game with homer Saturday

Santana went 1-for-3 with a leadoff homer, walk and two runs in Saturday's 6-0 victory over the Tigers.

Analysis:

The veteran slugger got the Indians on the right track to what would be their eighth straight victory by taking Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez deep to open the game. The round-tripper marked Santana's seventh in what has been his best month of the season to date, and extended his modest hitting streak to three games. Santana is now slashing .253/.333/.527 with seven homers and 15 RBI in June.
