Lorenzen (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings without allowing a baserunner and struck out three batters to collect his second win of the season during Monday's win over Pittsburgh.
Already up to 15.1 innings out of the bullpen, Lorenzen is being leaned on and has pitched reasonably well most nights. Two rough outings against Milwaukee on April 14 and the Cubs on April 21 have accounted for seven of his eight earned runs allowed, so outside of those appearances, Lorenzen has been solid. He's also pitching in enough high-leverage situations to have collected two wins, a save and two holds, and his 9.4 K/9 and 1.17 WHIP are serviceable marks. Lorenzen will probably continue to chip away at his 4.70 ERA over the coming weeks.
