Santiago was excellent during Sunday's win over Seattle, tossing eight scoreless innings with five strikeouts compared to just one walk.
The left-hander had gone three outings without tossing a quality start, so Sunday's performance was a positive sign and lowered his ERA back down to 3.42. He'll be leaned upon for the rest of the season to perform like a front-end pitcher for a poor rotation that's already lacking Garrett Richards (elbow), and outings like Sunday's will need to come more frequently. Santiago will next take the mound Friday versus Baltimore.
