Santana hit hard.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP)—Johan Santana received quite a welcome from teammates and fans in his New York Mets debut. Juan Gonzalez and Albert Pujols delivered a different type of greeting.
Santana gave up a three-run homer to Gonzalez in the first inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals went on to beat the Mets 5-4 in a spring training game Friday.
The Mets stood on the top step of the dugout for Santana when he took the mound to start the game. The crowd chanted his name and cheered his every move.
Twice a unanimous AL Cy Young Award winner, Santana gave up three runs and four hits in two innings. He threw for the cycle, in fact—Gonzalez homered, Brendan Ryan tripled, Pujols doubled and Chris Duncan singled off Santana.
“Today was definitely good,” Santana said. “The fans keep you in the game, they keep you going. They were excited to finally have the opportunity to see me throw.
“I’m very happy to be able to perform today. The numbers will say something different, but I feel really good,” he said.
Santana threw 30 pitches, 22 for strikes, before going to the bullpen and throwing an additional 15 pitches.
“I was rushing my delivery a little and they were aggressive swinging right away,” he said. “We threw a lot of first pitches for strikes. I threw a couple of fastballs that stayed up in the strike zone.
“There are a lot of adjustments I’ve got to make. It’s going to take some time, but that’s what we’re here for,” he said.
