Efficient Johan lifts Mets over Yanks: Despite surrendering three homers in his introduction to the Subway Series, Johan Santana allowed the Yankees little else on Saturday, lasting 7 2/3 innings in the Mets' 7-4 win.
Dunn's walk-off shot lifts Reds: Adam Dunn's walk-off three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth senta standing-room only crowd of 42,023 home happy Saturday afternoon.

Ramirez signs new deal with Florida: Hanley Ramirez's contract extension will provide him with financial security, and commits him to the Marlins through the 2014 season.
A-Rod homers in rehab game: Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez logged five innings at third base in an extended spring game on Saturday, recording three putouts, and was 1-for-4 with a walk and a home run at the Raymond Naimoli Complex, the Tampa Bay Rays' Minor League facility.
Dice-K now 7-0 as Sox take Game 1: The Red Sox waited 11 years to welcome the Brewers back to Boston, then wasted little time reminding their former American League brethren of the advantage they hold over them at Fenway Park, defeating the Brewers, 5-3, in front of 37,409.
Mets' winter prize pays early dividends: On Saturday, you had to score one for the Mets and for Johan Santana. Not only did the Mets prevail behind Santana, but they beat Andy Pettitte. It was in part the return of Pettitte's veteran presence for the 2008 season that made the Yankees believe that Santana would not be an essential commodity.
DeWitt, Dodgers even series with Halos: The Dodgers got even Saturday afternoon with a 6-3 victory over the Angels in front of 43,096 to square the Interleague series at a game apiece.
McLouth ends Bucs' slide vs. Cubs: Nate McLouth's two-run home run in the ninth inning lifted the Pirates to a 7-6 win over the Cubs and snapped their 10-game losing streak vs. Chicago.
Mets' win not without crisp defense: Chances are, the Mets' on-field maneuvers of the first 39 games did not factor into the split-second decision that Yankees third-base coach Bobby Meacham made in the third inning on Saturday. Regardless, what followed changed the complexion of the game.
Baby steps for Schilling: Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, working his way back from an ailing right shoulder, continued his throwing program on Friday at Fenway Park.
'No exact timetable' for Joba's move: While the Yankees aren't ready to budge from their original plan for Joba Chamberlain yet, manager Joe Girardi cracked open a sliver of possibility on Saturday that the hard-throwing right-hander may remain in relief for the rest of the 2008 season, given the club's needs.
Torre OK with not being at All-Star Game: Joe Torre is not an All-Star coach, and the future Hall of Famer has no problem with that.
Price caps rehab stint memorably
Penny scratched from Sunday start: Brad Penny has been scratched due to stiffness in his right arm, and Derek Lowe will move up a spot in the Dodgers' rotation and take his place for Sunday's series finale against the Angels.
Chavez takes day off rehab assignment
Hamilton, Berkman in spotlight: They are two of the hottest hitters in the game. Josh Hamilton, with two home runs and five RBIs, helped the Rangers take Game 1 on Friday, but Lance Berkman still went 2-for-4 for the Astros and takes a 15-game hitting streak into Saturday's game.
Wells frustrated by left wrist injury: Vernon Wells never broke a bone before, and he's played baseball his whole life. He was a two-sport high school star and never came close to a broken bone. That's why it's been so frustrating dealing with the broken bone in his left wrist, an injury he suffered May 9.
Gomez out due to sore right wrist
