Finnegan (9-10) shut out the Pirates for five innings Sunday, allowing five hits and five walks while striking out seven.
Unsurprisingly, he had an inflated pitch count, needing 95 pitches to get through five innings. Regardless, the outing still lowered his ERA on the season to 4.04 -- a figure that looks much better when you consider that it stood at 4.93 as late as July 24. Finnegan will look to continue his impressive finish to the year in a home rematch with the Bucs as part of Saturday's doubleheader.
