Angels' Hector Santiago: Fails to get past third inning against Rangers
Santiago lasted just 2.1 innings, allowing six runs (five earned), five hits and two walks while striking out two in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers.
Analysis:
Santiago's ERA has jumped from 3.42 to 4.58 over his last two starts. Through his first 10 starts of the season, Santiago has posted a career-worst 7.04 K/9 and 1.80 HR/9. Pinpointing the cause for his early-season struggles is tough considering his fastball is up a tick, and his control is basically the same as it has always been. He'll look to rebound in his next start Tuesday against the Tigers.
