Dennis Santana Shuts Down Nationals for Save in Tight Win
by Chase Davis | Pirates Correspondent | Fri, Apr 18th 8:29am EDT
Dennis Santana struck out one batter in a perfect appearance to secure the save in Thursday's 1-0 victory over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
After today’s game, Santana holds a 2.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 2 saves across 9 appearances this season. While he's getting the opportunities, the upside is limited. His strikeout rate is almost nonexistent at 14.7%, and his walk rate (8.8%), although better than his career average, is still below the MLB average. With David Bednar in the minors and Colin Holderman on IL, Santana should continue seeing the majority of however many save chances the Pirates come across.
