Pirates win Arbitration case against Santana

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dennis Santana lost his case in salary arbitration on Saturday.
Santana will get $1.4 million instead of his $2.1 million request in a decision by Brian Keller, Richard Bloch and Margaret Brogan, who heard the case Wednesday.
Santana, a 28-year-old right-hander, was 3-1 with a 3.89 ERA in 62 relief appearances last year for the Yankees and Pirates, who claimed him off waivers on June 11.
Teams have won three of four decisions. Right-hander Jovan Oviedo lost to the Pirates and will earn $850,000, and outfielder Mickey Moniak defeated the Los Angeles Angels and will make $2 million.
Five players remain scheduled for hearings, which run through Feb. 14, including St. Louis Cardinals outfielder/infielder Brendan Donovan, outfielder Lars Nootbaar and right-hander Andre Pallante. Also slated for hearings are Washington first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and Angels infielder Luis Rengifo.
