DeSclafani allowed one run on five hits with two walks and four strikeouts across six innings during a no-decision against the Pirates on Friday.
Like last season, DeSclafani has experienced some difficulty keeping the ball in the park, but he did just that Friday and yielded only one run for the second straight start. The right-hander came into the night having alternated wins and losses in his last six outings, but he remains 8-7 with a 4.27 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 131 strikeouts in 128.2 innings this season. DeSclafani will pitch next at the Marlins on Wednesday.
