King (3-1) got the win in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Pirates. He pitched two innings and gave up one unearned run on two hits.
After pitching a clean ninth, the 29-year-old gave up a pair of two-out singles in the 10th to allow the designated runner to score, but manager Oliver Marmol showed trust by letting King finish off the game. The lefty reliever got off to a strong start this season with a 1.33 ERA over his first 20.1 innings, but he's struggled of late with a 5.25 ERA in his last 12 innings. His sharp command remains his calling card, as he's walked only four batters all season and will carry a 2.78 ERA and 1.14 WHIP into his next outing.
