Let's get us another win today, pitchers news worth noting here.....

Santiago comes in with the disadvantage of not making a start in 13 days after he was skipped over during the last turn of the rotation. He only pitched out of the bullpen once in the interim -- a one-out appearance on Sunday -- but insists he has no issue with the extra rest.

"I've done it a bunch of times. I'm used to it," Santiago said.

Opposite Santiago, the Royals will turn to rookie righty Yordano Ventura, who has gone 3-1 with a 2.67 ERA across his last four starts.

Ventura's last outing against the Mariners was another impressive one -- a seven-inning, two-run affair that saw him register six strikeouts -- but he wound up taking the tough-luck loss on a go-ahead solo shot from Mike Zunino in the seventh inning.
