SEATTLE – Whatever Hector Santiago found in the last four days, the Angels need him to keep it.
Santiago gave up just two hits in eight innings in the Angels' 3-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
The Angels, who brought a six-game losing streak to Seattle, swept three games from the first-place Mariners.
Santiago, whose velocity had mysteriously dipped over his past four starts, was back throwing 93-95 mph on Sunday. In his previous outing, he was mostly at 89-91, and he fended off questions about his health.
Santiago insisted he was fine, and he proved it this time out.
