Trust me, what you are about to read is not a typo: Ervin Santana took a no hitter into the fifth inning.

Yes, the guy who came in with an 8.79 road ERA and who was 0-2 with a 12.38 ERA at Fenway Park had retired 13 batters in a row to start the game before J.D. Drew hit what sounded like a broken bat single into right field. The ball, a flare, fell in front of right fielder Nathan Haynes and just over the outstretched glove of second baseman Maicer Izturis.

Entering the sixth, Angels lead 1-0.
