Quakes' Santana fans eight in scoreless outing

5:45
The 21-year-old right-hander fanned eight over 5 2/3 scoreless innings, scattering three hits and a pair of walks in the Quakes' 11-10 loss to the JetHawks at The Hangar in Lancaster. The fine outing lowered his ERA to 1.14, and he's 1-2 over five games -- three starts. He's piled up 26 strikeouts across 23 2/3 frames, walking three in that span.
Sunday's was his second appearance at Lancaster, as the JetHawks got to him for two runs on eight hits over 4 1/3 innings.
This time, in the opening inning he shrugged off back-to-back one-out singles by a pair of top Rockeis prospects --Forrest Wall (No. 13) and Sam Hilliard (No. 30), and also worked around a two-out walk to Wes Rogers.
Santana started both the second and the third with consecutive punchouts. After a Brian Mundell double to open the fourth, he retired six straight. Wall walked to start the sixth, but Santana got Hilliard to bounce out to second base and fanned Mundell.

Obv. would have liked to see things go a little differently for the bullpen, but what did Dennis Santna show you with taht start today?
Strong last time, too, si innings, one earned run... Beginning to figure something out?
Compare to last week at Lancaster, what changed?
Yoiu like the way he dealt twith the two hits and the walk int eh first inning?
Both the second and the third, he strikes out the first two batters of the inning. What allows him to do that?
After the strikeout for the second out in the sixth, he hit a pitch count limit?
