DeSclafani didn't factor into the decision Friday versus the Cardinals, giving up two earned runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out three.
DeSclafani followed up a complete-game gem against the D-backs in his last start with another strong performance, the third straight start in which he's lasted at least seven innings. The 26 year-old's troubles came down to two hitters, as Yadier Molina tagged him for a solo shot in the second, while Randal Grichuk repeated the feat in the fifth. He'll look to get back into the win column when he takes on the Pirates next Thursday.
