White Sox starting pitcher Hector Santiago was the victim of poor run support yet again Friday, as his winless streak reached seven starts in a 2-1 loss to the Tigers.
Santiago held Detroit to just two runs in seven innings of work, allowing one each in the fourth and fifth innings. He struck out seven batters, while allowing six hits and one walk and throwing 70 of 106 pitches for strikes.
Santiago is now 3-7 on the season, despite a solid 3.28 ERA. He has thrown a quality start in five of his last six outings, but is just 0-2 with 10 runs of support total in that span. He will try to snap his winless skid in his next start, Wednesday against the Yankees.
