Tony Santillan Stats

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tony Santillan had a rough outing in Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He entered in the ninth inning while the team was winning 4-1 and he wound up giving up two hits, two walks and four runs (two earned) while recording just one out. He has now blown two consecutive save opportunities and is 4-for-7 overall on the year on save chances. No other Reds relievers seem to be breathing down his neck for the ninth inning role at this point, so we could see Santillan remain the favorite for saves despite his recent struggles. He should remain rostered in most leagues where saves are particularly scarce.

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tony Santillan closed out the team's 4-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday to earn his second save of the year. He pitched the final 1 2/3 innings of the game, retiring each of the five batters he faced while recording one strikeout. With Lucas Sims (back) on the injured list, the closer role is wide open for the Reds right now. Alexis Diaz earned the save on Tuesday, but he was utilized at the start of the eighth inning in Thursday's game. He struggled on Thursday as he allowed two walks, a hit and a run while recording just one out before Santillan came in. The 11-26 Reds don't figure to have many save opportunities come up in the near future, but if you're absolutely desperate for saves, Santillan now leads the team with his two saves and is as good of a bet as anyone to earn the team's next save opportunity.
