Finnegan allowed three runs on four hits, walking five and striking out four, but lasted just four innings in a 3-2 loss to Philadelphia on Friday night.
Finnegan (1-2) has an attractive ceiling, but he has to throw strikes for his best stuff to play up. He needed 85 pitches (just 43 for strikes) and only managed 4-of-19 first pitch strikes in this one so he pitched behind in the count throughout the contest. He'll try to be more efficient in his next start at home against cross-state rival Cleveland.
