Pomeranz had a better curveball in this second start for the Red Sox, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports. "I had a good curveball tonight," Pomeranz said. "I was locating my fastball a lot better. I was in a lot better counts all night and really, one bad pitch that hurt us."
Pomeranz finished with 99 pitches, 64 for strikes and registered 14 swings-and-misses, 11 with the curve. For the left-hander, who lasted just three-plus innings in his Boston debut last week, it was a much better performance, but there was one fastball that missed location and Jose Iglesias made him pay for it. He'll look to build off this outing when he takes the mound Saturday on the road against the Angels.
