Santiago (1-1, 2.29 ERA), whose first seven appearances this season were in relief, allowed just one hit through five innings, Adrian Beltre's home run in the second. The 25-year-old Santiago was supposed to replace Gavin Floyd on Friday night in Kansas City, where the forecast is for temperatures barely above freezing a day after the Royals were snowed out against Tampa Bay. Instead, Santiago replaced Peavy, sidelined by back spasms, on a 44-degree night in Texas.
