Santiago allowed one run on five hits and four walks over seven innings Saturday against Cleveland while striking out two. He did not factor into the decision.
Santiago was disastrous in his first four starts after being acquired by Minnesota at the trade deadline, going 0-4 and giving up 23 earned runs and 32 hits in just 19 innings. But he's found a nice groove over his last three starts and has allowed just four earned runs and 12 hits over the same amount of innings. Coming off three straight quality starts, he's worthy of fantasy consideration when he squares off against Jordan Zimmermann and the Detroit Tigers on September 15.
