Clevenger notched his third win of the season Thursday in Baltimore, holding the Orioles to two runs over five innings. He allowed six hits and four walks but managed to strike out four batters.
The right-hander settled in after giving up a leadoff home run to Seth Smith and limited the damage the rest of the way. Still, it was clear that Clevenger didn't have his best stuff as he hit two batters in addition to issuing four free passes, and his four strikeouts in five innings were well off his usual strikeout rate (10.5 K/9 over his last five starts). He should maintain a spot in the rotation for the foreseeable future, which means he's lined up to start again Tuesday against Texas.
