Twins' Ervin Santana: Finishes 2016 with no-decision versus Royals

Santana pitched five innings, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three Royals in a no-decision Wednesday.

Analysis:

In his final start of the regular season, the 33-year-old veteran got the hook after just 77 pitches. Santana's season ends with a 3.38 ERA over 181 innings. The last Twins starter to post a comparable number was Johan Santana in 2007 (3.33 ERA in 219 innings). His seven wins tied his career-worst total (2015 and 2007), but Santana's ERA and 1.22 WHIP are among the best marks of his 12-year career.
