Scout’s note
Azua's Santa turned a 1.26 ERA at Corpus Christi into a May call-up and has a 1.17 ERA with a 0.91 WHIP through ten games for Houston. The engine flagged the stuff before the debut; the Astros' bullpen apparently agreed.
The Wire
△ On the field: Fans praise Santa for aggressively filling the strike zone with great stuff after his recent recall and relief outings.
