CLEVELAND — As the Indians filtered back into their clubhouse after taking batting practice Friday afternoon, （shop mlb jerseys）one player glanced over at the assembled media in the Tribe dugout and belted out an announcement.（shop mlb jerseys）

“Carlos Santana press conference!”（shop mlb jerseys）

It’s not every day that a rookie holds court with reporters before making his Major League debut. （shop mlb jerseys）Then again, not every player is Santana, Cleveland’s heralded catching prospect who was called up prior to Friday’s game against Washington at Progressive Field.（shop mlb jerseys）

Indians manager Manny Acta inserted Santana into the No. （shop mlb jerseys）3 spot of his starting lineup, making the 24-year-old the first Tribe player to debut hitting third since Jim Norris in 1977, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.（shop mlb jerseys）

“Any time you get a chance to bring up the top prospect in your organization, it’s a lift,” Cleveland general manager Mark Shapiro said. “It’s a great day for the fans, the Indians and Carlos Santana.（shop mlb jerseys）

“He’s as ready as any guy we’ve ever brought up.”（shop mlb jerseys）

After tearing up the International League with Triple-A Columbus for the past two-plus months, Santana can finally call himself a Major Leaguer.（shop mlb jerseys）

“I’m very happy to be here,” the Dominican Republic native said through interpreter Ruben Niebla. “Ever since I was a young man, I dreamed of playing in the big leagues. （shop mlb jerseys）I want to thank God for this opportunity, and the fans for all of their support.”

Many of those supporters had clamored for Santana’s promotion for quite some time, as he hit .316 with 13 home runs and 51 RBIs, while posting a 1.044 OPS in 56 games with the Clippers this season. （shop mlb jerseys）Now, Tribe fans will have the opportunity to watch Santana settle into his new role as the Indians’ primary catcher.

“We’re happy to have him,” Acta said. “He has a chance to be a very good hitter at this level. This kid is here to play. （shop mlb jerseys）He’s a middle-of-the-order bat who is going to be a big part of our team.”

Santana learned of his callup from Columbus manager Mike Sarbaugh on Thursday, and made a special phone call shortly after that.（shop mlb jerseys）

“The first person I talked to was my mom,” Santana said. “She is someone who has always supported me.”（shop mlb jerseys）

Needless to say, the Cleveland organization has high hopes for the switch-hitting slugger.（shop mlb jerseys）

“We have some pieces in place here, and he’s part of the next wave,” Acta said. “He’s going to be our everyday guy. Carlos is here to stay.”（shop mlb jerseys）

BOSTON — The Red Sox had good news to report on two of their best all-around players.（shop mlb jerseys） Second baseman Dustin Pedroia had an MRI on the right knee that has been bothering him since May 15, and everything came back clean.（shop mlb jerseys）

Pedroia, coincidentally or not, （shop mlb jerseys）has been in a hitting slump ever since injuring his knee. But the tests ruled out any significant damage.（shop mlb jerseys）

“Pedey was checked out and everything came out real clean. （shop mlb jerseys）That’s good,” said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. “We all see how he plays.（shop mlb jerseys） The fact he can now go out there and see he’s not hurting himself is real good.”（shop mlb jerseys）

As for Kevin Youkilis, he exited Thursday night’s game in the seventh inning with back spasms and was replaced in the lineup by Mike Lowell on Friday. But it was just precautionary rest and Francona expects Youkilis will be back in the lineup on Saturday.

BOSTON — Closer Jonathan Papelbon reclaimed his seat in Boston’s bullpen Friday after being away from the team the past four days to deal with a personal matter.（shop mlb jerseys）

Papelbon knows that family comes first, but admits it wasn’t easy being a spectator. （shop mlb jerseys）His loss was felt on Thursday night when Daniel Bard couldn’t convert the save in the bottom of the ninth.

“Yeah, it was [tough],” Papelbon said. “It was tough seeing it, and when you know that you have personal business that you need to take care of, which comes before anything else in your life. （shop mlb jerseys）It’s tough to see that your teammates are out there grinding it out and doing everything they can. You just wish you could be out there with them helping out. （shop mlb jerseys）It’s tough, but at the same time, you realize what’s important in your life, and family comes before anything.”

During Boston’s four-game series in Cleveland, Papelbon came to Fenway Park and kept himself in pitching shape. （shop mlb jerseys）He will be available if the Red Sox need him on Friday night.

“It’s just like any other night,” Papelbon said. “When you’re put in a position where we’re ahead, and I can come here and do my job, I’m always excited for that.”（shop mlb jerseys）

PHOENIX — The agitation Peter Moylan displayed after Wednesday night’s loss had nothing to do with the fact that an outfield collision had just caused him to surrender a home run for the first time in more than two years. （mlb jerseys wholesale）Instead, the Braves right-handed reliever was disturbed that his recent command issues had led to him opening the eighth inning by hitting D-backs third baseman Mark Reynolds with a pitch.（mlb jerseys wholesale）

Reynolds reached as the potential tying run and then easily scored when Gerardo Parra raced around the bases with an inside-the-park home run after Braves outfielders Nate McLouth and Jason Heyward collided in right-center field.（mlb jerseys wholesale）

“You can’t hit the leadoff hitter in a one-run game,” Braves manager Bobby Cox said.

Unfortuantely for Moylan, command has recently become a troubling issue. In the three innings he has completed in five appearances this month, the sidearm reliever has issued five walks and thrown just 47 percent of his pitches for strikes.（mlb jerseys wholesale）

During the 12 1/3 innings he completed in 15 May appearances, he issued five walks and threw 62 percent of his pitches for strikes.

“I’ve been tweaking with a few things mechanically,” Moylan said. （mlb jerseys wholesale）“But I’ve been doing this long enough now that I should be able to feel when it feels right.”

Moylan’s recent struggles come at an inopportune time for the Braves,（mlb jerseys wholesale） who need him to serve as their primary setup man while Takashi Saito remains on the disabled list until at least June 19 with a strained left hamstring.

Parra’s inside-the-park homer was the first home run that Moylan surrendered since March 30, 2008 — a span of 102 innings.（mlb jerseys wholesale） According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the longest homerless streak by a Braves pitcher since John Smoltz went 119 2/3 innings without allowing one during a span that included the 1991 and ‘92 seasons.

You may have gone far, but you had to stay close for this.

Phillies ace Roy Halladay threw a perfect game.

Angels first baseman Kendry Morales led the Angels to a win over the Mariners with a walk-off grand slam — and then broke his lower left leg jumping onto home plate in the typical celebration scene.（cheap mlb jerseys）

Indians starting pitcher David Huff took an Alex Rodriguez liner off his head and was carried off on a stretcher, a horrifying moment for many. Huff was OK after tests.

Memorial Day Weekend 2010 is already different than any before it. You could have been on a boat, on a beach, at a barbecue or in a foreign land and it would not have mattered much. （cheap mlb jerseys）It is truly a year of Baseball Everywhere with unprecedented portability for live Major League Baseball, thanks to MLB.TV and an MLB.com At Bat app that travels with you all over.

This is how so many baseball fans came to find out about the remarkable events of Saturday around the National Pastime. Many were tipped off by tweets that came across their Twitter feed.（cheap mlb jerseys） You grilled, you swam, you regaled at family picnics, you traveled, and yet you were right there to find out about the events, one by one, each more mind-boggling than the other.

It became a story in itself, the story of Saturday, May 29, 2010.

Part of that was the way the story was told, the way it was discovered. We were all over the place for this holiday weekend, and yet connected so tightly.（cheap mlb jerseys）

Buster Posey made his much-anticipated 2010 debut for the Giants. He ripped an RBI single in his first at-bat.

Asked if he was nervous, Posey said: “A little of both. Mostly excited. There’s a few butterflies. But I think that’s pretty normal. （cheap mlb jerseys）I’m ready to get the game going.”

Carlos Silva, to the dismay of fans in Minnesota and Seattle, suddenly was 7-0 for the Cubs. No Cubs pitcher had started a season 7-0 since 1967. （cheap mlb jerseys）He had just thrown seven scoreless innings, striking out 11 and walking none, continuing to dominate on an All-Star course. Behind him, the Cubbies blanked their rivals from St. Louis, 5-0.

“This is as good as I’ve seen him throw,” Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. “He’s had some good games this year, （cheap mlb jerseys）but stuff-wise, changing speeds, good fastball, breaking ball — today was as good as I’ve seen him throw all year.”

In Cincinnati, a full house at now-supercharged Great American Ball Park saw the Reds pound six homers and crush the Astros, 12-2. All of a sudden, the hot Reds were 10 games over .500 (30-20) and two games ahead of the Cardinals in the National League Central.（cheap mlb jerseys）

There were many such fascinating developments, but these freakish stories seemed to keep coming — steadily requiring your attention as you may have felt that first summer breeze. The National Pastime called you, no matter where you were.（cheap mlb jerseys）

The Indians somehow rallied and won that game at Yankee Stadium long after Huff’s departure, and we all heard together that Alex Rodriguez actually drove to the hospital after it was over in hopes of visiting Huff. But we also heard that Huff wasn’t there; he had been back at the ballpark. A-Rod, we heard, called Huff on his cell.（cheap mlb jerseys）

Then we saw Huff actually jump on his @DHuff11 Twitter page around 7:30 p.m. ET and tweet his status to everyone（cheap mlb jerseys）, something you would not have seen in any Memorial Day weekend before.

“Everything is good,” Huff tweeted. “It was a little scary but I’m out of the hospital now and with my family. （cheap mlb jerseys）Thank you all for your concern and support.”

An hour later, he added: “I’d like to thank the Yankees team doctors, our training for making sure I was OK. I’d also like to thank the NY security staff for taking care of my family, they were amazing. （cheap mlb jerseys）Finally, to A-Rod, contacting me on his way to the hospital, one class act.”

On top of everything, there was that one moment when you heard from someone that Halladay was perfect through six down in Miami. （cheap mlb jerseys）Then perfect through seven.

Then if you weren’t already watching it, you were watching the Live Look-In on MLB.com. You were perhaps glued to MLB Network.（cheap mlb jerseys） Phillies third baseman Juan Castro made a sweet stop on a Jorge Cantu smash to third and got the first out of the eighth, and when Halladay motioned thankfully to Castro at that point, you knew this was real.

It was Halladay, and it was not hard to imagine him carrying on. He did. Castro ranged to his left to snag Ronny Paulino’s grounder and threw to Ryan Howard for the 27th and final out of the game, （cheap mlb jerseys）and there you were — wherever you were — enjoying some goosebumps with your holiday gathering. It was the 20th perfect game in Major League history, and already the second in the past month, following Dallas Braden’s gem for Oakland.

“It was awesome,” Halladay said. You were watching his on-field postgame interview with Sarge Matthews of the Phillies broadcast crew, hearing the pitcher give full credit to his backstop. “（cheap mlb jerseys）I can’t say enough about the job [Carlos Ruiz] did today mixing pitches.”

At almost exactly that time, 9:15 p.m. ET, the Angels e-mailed a statement that made it clear Morales’ injury was worse than imagined — not your basic embarrassing sprained ankle. （cheap mlb jerseys）The emotions were all over the place on this day as a fan. It read:

“WHO: Angels first baseman Kendry Morales sustained an injury to his lower left leg at home plate at the conclusion of today’s game after hitting a game-ending grand slam. He was carted off the field on a stretcher and taken locally for X-rays. Morales will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a corresponding move to be announced.（cheap mlb jerseys）

“WHAT: X-rays taken today revealed a fracture of the lower left leg. It was determined that surgery will be required tomorrow (May 30th) with Dr. Phil Kwong performing the procedure (Foot & Ankle Specialist with Kerlan-Jobe Clinic). No timetable has been set for a rehab schedule or his return.”

You watched the scores. You enjoyed the rest of your Saturday. You prepared for more Memorial Weekend fun, wondering perhaps what it might be like when Ubaldo Jimenez and Tim Lincecum start opposite each other on Monday.

This is a long weekend, and it is a baseball weekend. That is true this year more than ever.

Lefty allows only one hit — a double in the third — in shutout

NEW YORK — The Mets weren’t about to lose two in one day（cheap mlb jerseys）. Not in this park.

Hours after watching the Mets drop a disappointing day game to the Padres, Jon Niese led them to a scintillating 3-0 victory in the nightcap of a split doubleheader on Thursday（cheap mlb jerseys）.

Making his second start since returning from the disabled list, Niese allowed only one hit in eight innings, （cheap mlb jerseys）striking out six. Chris Denorfia provided the only hit off him with a leadoff double in the third.

The Mets touched Padres starter Jon Garland for a run on Jeff Francoeur’s RBI single in the second inning, （cheap mlb jerseys）then two more on David Wright’s groundout and Ike Davis’ single in the third. Garland lasted six innings, allowing three runs on eight hits and walking two.

The damage against Garland might have been worse if not for a well-timed triple play. With men on first and second and no outs in the second inning, Ruben Tejada hit a chopper to third base, （cheap mlb jerseys）where Chase Headley fielded and threw to Lance Zawadzki at second. Zawadzki then pivoted and fired to Adrian Gonzalez, just getting Tejada at first base.

The Mets capped their homestand at 5-1, improving to 24-10 overall at Citi Field.

Johnson goes eight scoreless（mlb jerseys）; Cantu’s sac fly in first enough
PHILADELPHIA — History may not have been made by Josh Johnson on Thursday night. But the Marlins’ ace certainly made another strong impression, this time to a national audience who was watching on MLB Network.
In a showdown with Roy Halladay, （mlb jerseys）Johnson threw eight shutout innings, retiring the final 17 batters he faced. Coupled with Jorge Cantu’s first-inning sacrifice fly and Dan Uggla’s ninth-inning home run, the Marlins were able to preserve a 2-0 victory against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Johnson (7-2) scattered three hits and lowered his ERA to 1.91, while gaining some measure of revenge against Halladay and the Phillies. On May 29 at Sun Life Stadium, Halladay tossed the 20th perfect game in Major League history. That score was 1-0.
With the win, the Marlins snapped their four-game losing streak.（mlb jerseys）
Achieving perfection is tough enough. Repeating it proved to be even harder.
While Halladay wasn’t perfect on Thursday, the veteran was still dominating, striking out eight while allowing one run. Uggla added some insurance with his 14th homer, capping a 12-pitch at-bat with Danys Baez in the ninth.
Chris Coghlan worked the count full to open the game and singled sharply to center. Gaby Sanchez singled and Hanley Ramirez walked to load the bases. Cantu continued to show the knack for driving in runs, lifting a sacrifice-fly liner to score Coghlan.
The Marlins were in position to break through with a big inning, but Halladay minimized the damage. （mlb jerseys）In fact, in each of the first three innings, Florida had a runner in scoring position, but was unable to capitalize.
Johnson, meanwhile, worked out of trouble in the first inning, striking out Jayson Werth with an 85-mph slider with runners on second and third. （mlb jerseys）Inducing a double-play grounder out of Wilson Valdez helped Johnson work through the second after Shane Victorino doubled with one out. From that point, Johnson took over.

National standard champion, was regarded as “biological” and the strong play Harpo (Bryce Harper), again showing nuclear explosion at the university level, the power!
