| May 26, in a 9-1 loss to the Marlins. The second of four pitchers, he allowed three runs on six hits in two innings without walking or striking out a batter. Coming on for starter Drew Smyly to start the seventh inning, he induced groundouts from the first two batters he faced, Miguel Rojas and Jeff Mathis, before giving up his first hit, a single to right field by Adeiny Hechavarria, before retiring Martin Prado on another groundout. In the eighth, Marcell Ozuna and J.T. Realmuto led things off with back-to-back singles. Ozuna then scored on a ground-rule double by Cole Gillespie. Chris Johnson and Derek Dietrich then delivered back-to-back run-scoring singles before Rojas grounded into a double play, and then Mathis lined out to end the inning. |

Overall, in four-plus seasons, he combined to go 21-6 with a 2.69 composite ERA, striking out 236 while walking just 108 in 247.2 IP. |
