5. Santana Shuts Down Yankees in ALDS in 2004
The whole game is on YouTube if you want to watch it, though it's kind of a tease given the Yankees have beat the Twins in 947 consecutive games since. Johan just completely shut down the Yankee lineup, allowing just 10 baserunners in 7 innings. Rincon and Nathan continued to shut them down after that.
Mussina allowed even fewer baserunners than Johan did, but he didn't spread them out as nicely. Jacque Jones also hit a dinger off him.
Anyway, Santana was awesome.
