Eickhoff (2-8)threw 6.2 innings during Thursday's loss against the Brewers, in which he only allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out four.
The two runs allowed represent the first time Eickhoff has permitted less than three runs since April 18 against the Mets, and he pitched a strong game despite the loss. He's never going to miss too many bats, but he seems to be on the right track: he posted a 4.15 ERA on April, and he lowered it down to a 3.99 mark during May. His next scheduled start will come against the Cubs on Tuesday.
