SAN DIEGO -- Ervin Santana will make the start for, surprise, Minnesota when the Twins face the San Diego Padres in a Wednesday matinee.
Santana (11-7, 3.37 ERA) was among the Twins pitchers rumored to be on the move at the trade deadline. Instead, closer Brandon Kintzler was sent to the Washington Nationals and starter Jaime Garcia went to the New York Yankees.
Santana stayed put, and he will place his 2-0 career record against the Padres on the line in the Twins' final game of a dreadful road trip.
