[QUOTE="Milwaukee, post: 731315, member: 1428"] “But there’s a needling little inconsistency in the commonly recited claim that the no-hitter ruined Santana: He actually pitched pretty well for a while thereafter. Santana got hit hard his next time out, but the five starts following the no-hitter saw the lefty go 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA, including eight shutout innings against the Dodgers in the fifth of those on June 30. And Santana’s complete collapse that season did not come until he injured his ankle on a play at first base against the Cubs on July 6. He allowed two runs over the first four innings that day, then [URL='http://www.nj.com/mets/index.ssf/2012/07/johan_santanas_ankle_feels_fin.html']twisted his ankle when Reed Johnson stepped on it[/URL] on an infield hit to leadoff the fifth.
