Ervin Santana, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
8 1/3 IP, 0 runs, 6 hits, 0 walks, 4 strikeouts
Ervin Santana was brilliant as he mastered the Oakland A’s 3-0. The win brought the Angels into a 1st place tie with the Athletics. Santana a 22 year old righthander out of the Dominican Republic kept the A’s hitters off balance mixing up his 96 MPH heater with changeups and a sharp breaking ball. He has poise beyond his years. DonS plays, “Black Magic Woman” everytime this kid takes the hill. Hey DonS, you’re going to wear that vinyl out!
