Pitcher Hector Santiago was an Angel out of the bullpen for the Angels on Saturday. Santiago was called into relief duty in the second inning with the Angels down 7-0 to the Yankees.
Santiago, who was pitching on two-days rest, twirled 3 2/3 innings of shutout baseball, allowing two hits and striking out three. He lowered his season ERA to 2.55.
With a couple of scheduled off-days coming up, the Angels already planned on pushing Santiago's next start back to Friday, so it wasn't a surprise to see him come out of the bullpen. Still, it was a solid performance to help save some of the other relief corps in the Angels' bullpen.
