MLB Note - Minnesota Twins Santana, Ervin

Sep 24, 2017 - 7:45 AM RHP Ervin Santana gave up four straight hits to open Saturday night's game, five overall in the first, then set down 18 out of 20 in the seven innings he worked. "Give Ervin a lot of credit," manager Paul Molitor said. "It looked like he had a little rough start. He didn't catch many breaks. Couple balls painted down the right field line. Couple other things that happened. But he settled in really nicely and other than the changeup he kind of left up for (Efren) Navarro he had a solid seven innings for us. I'm glad we're able to pick up a win for the team first and get another for Ervin in his win column too." "Good thing I just gave up two runs in that first inning," Santana said, "minimize the damage."
