Angels left-hander Hector Santiago bounced back from a mediocre first start to post a strong one Wednesday and earn his first victory of the season.
Santiago could relax a bit when his team tallied six runs in the second inning against Texas. He rolled the rest of the way, allowing just one run on four hits in seven innings while walking two and striking out five. His lone mistake was deposited over the fence by Carlos Corporan in the fifth inning.
He will try to make it two straight next Monday against visiting Oakland.
