Aldegheri (1-1) earned the win in Friday's 5-1 victory over Texas, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out seven.
The Italian rookie cruised to his first big-league victory, generating 14 whiffs en route to his seven punchouts. The only run Aldegheri yielded came via an Adolis Garcia sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, as the Rangers couldn't manage to get an extra-base hit off the southpaw. After his first two starts, Aldegheri's ERA stands at 2.45 to go with a 1.27 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB across 11 innings. With this performance, the 23-year-old should stick in the rotation and projects to make his next start against the Astros at home next weekend.
