Twins 7, Royals 3: At Kansas City, Mo., Johan Santana struck out 10 in eight innings to get his first victory in the slowest start of his career, leading Minnesota to a win over Kansas City.

Minor leaguer suspended

Top Tampa Bay prospect Delmon Young was suspended indefinitely by the International League, one day after throwing a bat that hit a replacement umpire in the chest after getting thrown out.

The 20-year-old Young, brother of Detroit star Dmitri Young and considered one of the best players in the minors, was ejected in the first inning following a called third strike in the Durham Bulls’ Triple-A game at Pawtucket, R.I.

“I sincerely regret my actions in the game yesterday,” Young said in a statement released by the office of his agent, Arn Tellem.

Sabathia looks good

C.C. Sabathia could return to the Cleveland Indians’ rotation soon after making 75 pitches in a rehabilitation start at Triple-A Buffalo.

Sabathia, who strained an abdominal muscle on opening day, allowed six hits and two runs – one earned – in five innings. He walked one and struck out five.
