Lively allowed three runs on eight hits over seven innings in a 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday. He struck out two and walked two.
Lively has gone seven innings in all three of his major-league starts and hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of those outings. He relies on pitching to contact which leaves him prone to blow-ups, but he is making it work so far. He will face the Diamondbacks at home in his next start.
