Price outdone by Santana's 3-hitter

 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Ervin Santana pitched a sterling three-hitter for his first home win of the season, and Jeff Mathis hit a three-run double off the left-field wall in the Los Angeles Angels' 6-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.  

Meanwhile, the Rays' David Price (5-5) continues his struggles on the road, now 0-4 outside of Tropicana Field.

Reggie Willits' two-run single in the fifth broke open a scoreless game for the Angels, who boosted their AL West lead over Texas to five games with their 18th win in 25 outings since the All-Star break.

A dominant start by Santana (5-6) was a welcome surprise for the Angels, whose rotation has been awfully shaky beyond ace John Lackey and Jered Weaver. Santana has missed 52 games during two stints on the disabled list this season, and has rarely resembled last season's 16 game-winner even when healthy.
