Santiago walked one and struck out four as he prepared to take his spot in the starting rotation. Craig Breslow pitched a scoreless inning in relief, but former first-round pick Kohl Stewart gave up four runs in two innings.
Tommy Field and Niko Goodrum each homered for the Twins, which brought only one projected starter — catcher Jason Castro — to Sarasota.
Matt Borgschule, 33, spent four seasons with the Twins minor league system before a three-year stint in Baltimore.
