A starting pitcher delivered five innings of two-run ball in a 5-2 win, helping end a seven-game losing streak. The right-hander struck out seven batters and issued no walks. He allowed four extra-base hits over the five innings.
Rain delay and continuation Play stopped for 53 minutes after the pitcher struck out a batter to end the third inning. During the delay the pitcher threw four simulated innings of eight-to-15 pitches every 10 minutes. Officials allowed the pitcher to return for the fourth and fifth innings after he expressed a desire to continue.
The manager said the decision followed input from the pitcher and pitching staff.
Recent performance context The pitcher had allowed nine runs in 9 2/3 innings across his previous two starts. Friday’s outing marked an improvement, with greater use of the four-seam fastball. The team remains without two other starters on the injured list and one regular position player.
