Reds pitcher Michael Lorenzen didn't factor into the decision Sunday after giving up one earned run on seven hits and four walks in five innings and striking out two in his team's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.

Lorenzen put plenty of people on base in the game but was able to limit the damage to just an RBI single in the second inning. It's his second straight start allowing just one earned run.

Lorenzen owns a 2.81 ERA and 11:8 K:BB ratio in 16 innings. He's on track to face the Giants at home Friday.
