May gave up one run over 2.1 innings with two strikeouts in Friday's spring start. He has spotted an issue where he was tipping a pitch by closing his glove when preparing to throw a curveball, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
May is competing for the fifth starter job after working out of the bullpen last season. He looks healthy as he was throwing between 92-94 mph with his fastball, which is encouraging since he struggled with a stress fracture in his back last season. Even with the back issue that helped result in a 5.27 ERA, he had a 12.66 K/9 working out of the bullpen. He's given up one run in four innings with three strikeouts this spring.
