RecapDennis Santana was credited with a win after working a scoreless ninth in a tie game against the Mets on Sunday.
The Pirates surprised some people by saying at the end of the spring that Santana wouldn’t be their sole closer, but the guess here is that he’s still going to get the big majority of the save chances unless he stumbles. The Pirates haven’t had a traditional opportunity yet, but Santana has already thrown three scoreless innings. However, since Santana has worked the last two days, Gregory Soto, who got this one off, might be the choice to close Monday.
