Santiago (12-8) allowed one run on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 5.2 innings to beat the Tigers on Thursday.
Santiago has rebounded from a rough initial stretch following his trade to Minnesota at the deadline, and is 2-0 with a 1.82 ERA over his last four starts. He got outs almost exclusively via the fly ball in this one, with 13 of those compared to just one ground ball and three strikeouts. While that split is unlikely to repeat itself in his next outing, Santiago has a great chance to keep the good times rolling in a home rematch with these same Tigers on Wednesday.
