Fantasy Impact:
Santana has now pitched an inning in all three games for the Pirates this season. He was called upon to preserve a 2-2 tie in the ninth inning on Sunday and pitched a 1-2-3 frame with a strikeout. Santana has pitched three scoreless, hitless innings this season with a 2:2 K:BB ratio. Jose Urquidy earned the save in the 10th inning on Sunday. Manager Don Kelly has stated that Santana won't be the full-time closer, but he still should earn a majority of the save opportunities in Pittsburgh this season.
