Velasquez did not factor in the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits over four innings. He struck out three and walked one.
The teams endured over a 100-minute rain delay, and although Velasquez surprisingly managed to retake the mound, he was unable to put forth a typical-length start. The 26-year-old threw 58 pitches but it also took significant work to stay warm during the delay. Velasquez has a 4.06 ERA and 1.26 WHIP and his next start currently lines up to come at Toronto on Sunday.
