Pomeranz allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out 11 over six innings in Thursday's 6-2 win over Texas.
Pomeranz totaled just 10 innings in his previous three starts, including a four-inning outing five days ago after which he and manager John Farrell had a heated discussion in the dugout. There was no such acrimony Thursday, as the left-hander went six innings for the first time in five starts and delivered an efficient 96-pitch, bullpen-saving effort. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday on the road against the White Sox and Mike Pelfrey.
