Dennis Santana Seals the Deal in Pirates' Victory

Dennis Santana notched a save, striking out one in a clean inning as the Pirates topped the Cubs 5-3 on Monday.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a textbook example of efficiency, utilizing only 13 pitches to secure the final outs. Santana's season has been a mixed bag with a 4.48 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP, but outings like this showcase his potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly for those in need of saves. His solid 3.47 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a decent 8.8 K/9 suggest he can contribute useful strikeouts, though his ERA might be a concern. Santana's role appears stable, and while he isn't a top-tier closer, he's a viable option when looking for saves.
