Finnegan gave up four runs (three earned) on eight hits over 5.2 innings Wednesday against the Indians. He struck out six and didn't walk anyone.
That's twice in Finnegan's last three starts that he's refrained from issuing a base on balls, but he walked five in the other one. Finnegan has allowed exactly three earned runs in five consecutive starts, but has only managed to go long enough for a quality start twice in that span, highlighting his generalized struggles with inefficiency. That's been the story of the 23-year-old's career to this point, but as a southpaw with decent heat and a changeup that works well against righties, he continues to hold intriguing longer-term upside.
