Santiago struck out nine batters and did not allow a run through seven innings en route to picking up his sixth win of the season Thursday against the Rays.
Santiago labored to open the contest, but found another gear after his first time through the order, as he allowed just two baserunners and punched out five through his final four innings. He did put four on base via the walk, but Santiago can now boast 13 innings of scoreless baseball in his last two starts. He will head into the All-Star break having notched an ERA of 4.58 over 18 starts.
