Red Sox's Richard Fitts: Impresses in MLB debut
Share Video
Fitts did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the White Sox, allowing two runs (zero earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out two in 5.2 innings.
Fitts pitched well in his MLB debut, cruising through five scoreless innings before allowing two unearned runs in a rocky sixth inning that included a Triston Casas error. Fitts used just 66 pitches in 5.2 innings, pitching to contact against an inept White Sox offense. Fitts struck out only two batters Sunday, but he has shown adequate strikeout potential in the minor leagues -- in 24 starts for AAA-Worcester this season, Fitts compiled a 4.17 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 111:37 K:BB in 116.2 innings. If Fitts sticks around in the rotation, he will face a much stiffer test next weekend against the Yankees.
