Barria gave up one run on three hits and no walks while striking out six through five innings in a no-decision against the Reds on Wednesday.
It was a solid outing for the Barria, considering he came into the game sporting a 7.71 ERA during his Triple-A stint this season and a 6.52 ERA when toiling for the Angels. Despite the one-run performance, the right-hander was pulled after only 75 pitches to avoid facing the lineup for a third time. Barria lowered his major-league ERA to 5.55 (six appearances) and will get his next start Monday against the Rangers at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
