Velasquez gave up two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision against the Giants on Thursday.
All three hits against Velasquez were singles, and he allowed only one hit over his final five frames. Meanwhile, he recorded six strikeouts (all via the swinging strike), but efficiency was a problem. Reports from earlier in the week suggested Velasquez only has about 40 innings left on his arm this season, so after Thursday's outing, he's looking at roughly 35 more innings (or five-to-six starts) before the Phillies shut him down.
