DeSclafani (1-0) picked up the win against the Rangers on Tuesday. He pitched seven innings, allowing two runs, five hits and a walk while striking out six.
Making his third start of the season, DeSclafani struck out more hitters Tuesday than in his previous starts combined. He showed command of his pitches for the first time, walking one after giving three free passes in each of his first two outings. He was spared a few earned runs last week, so the third-year righty claims a nifty 2.30 ERA through 15.2 innings so far.
