Canning did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings while striking out four.
Canning gave up a leadoff knock in three of his five innings of work, including a home run to Nathaniel Lowe in the second, but the right-hander still managed to hold Texas to just two runs over that stretch while generating 10 swings and misses. It was a solid showing for Canning, who's now gone at least five frames in six of his last seven starts. However, it also marked the sixth consecutive outing in which he's given up multiple free passes.
