After Sergio Santos closed out Monday's 2-0 victory over the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, manager Ozzie Guillen hinted that Santos will have another shot to take control of that prime late-inning role.

 

"We are going to see how he is tomorrow," said Guillen of Santos. "And if the opportunity comes again, we'll see how he handles it."

 

Santos has not allowed a run covering 20 2/3 innings in 2011, including Spring Training. He gave up two hits over 1 1/3 innings on Monday but was never really in trouble, as the White Sox picked up just their second save in eight opportunities.

 

"He has the stuff to do it, [Matt] Thornton has stuff to do it, [Chris] Sale has the stuff to do it, Jesse [Crain] can do it," said White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski of the team's somewhat vacant closer's slot. "It's a matter of a guy taking the bull by the horns and saying, 'I'm going to be the guy' and taking it and running with it.

 

"If it's Sergio, it's Sergio. But we need someone to step up and do it."
