Carlos Santana delivered a solid performance in the Twins' 10-5 win against the Angels, going 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI.

Santana's season has been a mixed bag with a .238 batting average and 21 homers over 134 games, indicating some power but inconsistency at the plate. His performance in this game, however, showcases his potential to impact games significantly, especially in the power categories. Fantasy managers should consider Santana a viable option for power numbers, though his average may not contribute positively to fantasy lineups. His ability to drive in runs and hit home runs can be particularly valuable in deeper leagues or formats that reward power statistics.

Fantasy Impact
While Santana's single contribution might seem modest, his RBI proved crucial in securing the narrow victory for Minnesota. Despite a batting average that hovers around the .240 mark this season, Santana's ability to drive in runs (56 RBI in 124 games) remains a consistent asset for fantasy managers. His power numbers have also been respectable with 18 homers to date, though his overall production isn't likely to turn heads in most fantasy formats. Santana remains a situational pick, best utilized in matchups that favor his bat.
