White Sox's Hector Santiago: Lands second win despite shaky start

Santiago (2-2) allowed two runs on six hits and three walks with two strikeouts through five innings in a win Wednesday over Minnesota.

Santiago was shaky, but he managed to keep the ball in the ballpark and kept the floodgates from bursting. He needed a ridiculous 104 pitches to get through five innings, though, and even if he is lucky enough to strand seven of nine runners in future starts, counting on the White Sox offense and bullpen to help him hold onto wins in the later innings is a risky proposition at best. With the White Sox expected to welcome Carlos Rodon (shoulder) back from the 60-day disabled list this weekend in Boston, Santiago could be at risk of moving back to the bullpen.
