July 2, 2008 Angels ace Ervin Santana failed to get the win in tonight's 5-3 victory over Oakland, but not due to a lack of effort. Santana pitched seven innings to surrender two runs (both earned) on eight hits with two walks and seven strikeouts.
Our View:Fantasy owners will be happy to hear Santana failed to surrender a homer and he continues to add to his already-gaudy strikeout/walk ratio. A win would have been nice, but the offensive support wasn't there.
June 25, 2008 Ervin Santana struck out eight Nationals on Wednesday, but he allowed four runs over six innings to pick up a no-decision.
Our View:Santana walked a season high five batters on the night as he had trouble locating his pitches on the night. Still, you can't be upset with a 9-3 record and 3.32 ERA at the season's mid point.
June 25, 2008 Ervin Santana gets the start for the Angels tonight against the offensively challenged Washington Nationals in a favorable match-up. He has six wins and a 3.10 ERA on the road this season.
Our View:Aside from Santana's road record, he faces a Nationals lineup that features just three regulars hitting over .270. The Nats are last in the majors in batting average, runs, hits, RBI and slugging percentage.
June 20, 2008 Ervin Santana dominated the Phillies on Friday night on his way to picking up his ninth win of the year. Santana allowed just one run, unearned, while giving up two hits, two walks and striking out nine.
Our View:Just when it looks like he is going to regress into the enigma he has been, he rebounds with an effort like this one. No one's a sure thing, but it's clear that this hurler has arrived.
June 20, 2008 Ervin Santana will battle the Phillies at Philadelphia today, according to MLB.com. Santana is 8-3 with a 3.40 ERA and 1.08 WHIP this season, and this will be his first meeting against the Phillies.
Our View:Santana surrendered six earned runs in his last start (against Atlanta), but only allowed two in each of his previous three outings. He is worth starting, despite a tough game on the road.
