Pomeranz (2-4) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings in Monday's loss to the Padres.
Pomeranz hasn't allowed more than three earned runs since July. Over his last seven starts, he owns a sharp 2.76 ERA and has struck out 44 against just 14 walks in 42.1 innings of work. He's just 2-2 in that span, but he's pitching better than his record would suggest and he's giving the Red Sox another valuable rotation option for the stretch run.
