Wood didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Mets despite recording nine strikeouts and surrendering just four hits, two runs (one earned) and two walks over 6.1 innings.
Wood induced 14 swinging strikes and threw first-pitch strikes to 18 of the 24 hitters he faced. It was another up in Wood's roller coaster season, which has seen him allow only a single earned run on three occasions, and a combined 17 earned runs in his four other trips to the mound. Tuesday's outing was particularly encouraging considering the 25-year-old gave up three homers in just five innings against the Rays last Wednesday. The no-decision was the third of Wood's campaign, leaving his record at a mediocre 1-3 despite the strong performance. He did see his ERA drop to 4.58, and he's now recorded nine strikeouts in two of his last three starts.
