Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tony Santillan (74) throws in the bullpen.
After allowing a home run on his very first pitch of last night’s game, Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Tony Santillan settled in and put together a career night. The Louisville Bats fell to the St. Paul Saints, but in no way was Santillan the cause of the loss.
Santillan racked up a career-high 13 strikeouts over seven innings of work, allowing just two earned runs on three hits. The right-hander did walk four batters but went the distance (last night’s performance came in Game 1 of a doubleheader), hurling 111 pitches, 66 of which went for strikes.
