| News: Santana gave up just one run on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts over seven innings against the Indians on Tuesday but was denied the win when the bullpen blew the game. | Impact: This was Santana's fourth straight quality start and he has a 0.94 ERA with a 20:3 K:BB over that span. He lowered his overall ERA to 2.64 and though he's out-performing his peripherals, it's more due to his 46.7-percent ground ball rate, an increased strikeout rate and sound defense behind him. He had a bit of a rough patch in May but has sufficiently rebounded to the point where he should probably be a regular fixture in your lineups. He's got a bit of a tough matchup against the Braves his next time out, but Atlanta is only batting .252 against right-handers this season, so that works in his favor.(RotoWire, ) |

He's made 13 starts this season, and nine of them have been quality.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Santana cruised to his fourth win of the season on Saturday against the Astros, allowing two runs on five hits with six strikeouts over seven innings. | Impact: Despite the mediocre record, Santana lowered his season ERA to 2.99 and needed only 96 pitches to throw the seven innings. After a rough finish to the month of May, Santana has thrown together back-to-back quality starts in June, while the win was the 100th of his career and first since April 27 against Cleveland. He will look to keep carrying this momentum into his next start against the Rays at "The Trop."(RotoWire, ) |
