He gave us a chance more times than not. He competed and he tried to hang in there on a team that has lost a lot of games and continued to go out there and try to be professional about it. He can stand tall. There are no shortcomings there, an ERA in the 3.3s.Its just unfortunate, and we talked about it before, we gave some games away that he pitched, maybe not playing good enough defense or backing him up offensively. But if I was Ervin Santana I would feel good about what I contributed and trying to give his best from day one all the way through to his last start.Kendrys Morales ground-rule double to right scored Jarrod Dyson, who had doubled and stole third. Gordons single scored Whit Merrifield and pinch-runner Billy Burns.Taylor Rogers (3-1), the fourth of five Twins pitchers, took the loss after allowing three runs, three hits and two walks while retiring only one of the six batters.Joakim Soria (5-8) worked a scoreless eighth, and Wade Davis got his 27th save in 30 chances.Royals left-hander Jason Vargas allowed four hits in five shutout innings, leaving with a 2-0 lead in his third start since Tommy John surgery in 2015.
