Angels pitcher Hector Santiago didn't factor into the decision Tuesday despite giving up just three hits and one walk in six scoreless innings while striking out eight in his team's extra-innings game against the A's.

Santiago was brilliant in his return to the big leagues, moving down a very good A's team with 98 pitches in six strong innings. He owns a 4.15 ERA and 39:19 K:BB ratio in 43 1/3 innings. Santiago is slated to face the Indians Monday.
