Tony Santillan worked a hitless ninth for his seventh save Sunday against the Cubs.

Both Santillan and Emilio Pagán pitched Friday and Saturday, but Santillan had the easier outings, throwing a total of 22 pitches, and thus was available today, whereas Pagán, who totaled 31 pitches, apparently wasn’t. Santillan walked two and threw 23 pitches before finishing off the Cubs, so he will need some rest after this one. Fortunately, the Reds have Monday off before a home series against the Pirates.
