Wood allowed three earned runs, five hits and no walks with seven strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision Saturday against the Reds. It wasn’t Wood’s best outing, but he also did not walk any batters while keeping a zero in the loss column for the season. He has allowed just 15 walks and one home run across 53 2/3 innings this season while posting an impressive 2.01 ERA and 0.99 WHIP. He’ll look to get back into the win column in his next scheduled start in a rematch with Asher Wojciechowski in Cincinnati on Friday. (Rotoworld)
Adleman whiffed seven batters while tossing seven frames of one-run ball in Tuesday’s 13-1 blowout win over the Cardinals. Adleman served up a solo homer to Stephen Piscotty, but it was one of just three hits he allowed. He walked two. This is the third straight quality start for Adleman, who lowered his ERA to 4.42 and WHIP to a solid 1.19. He’ll have a tough matchup as he keeps it going on Sunday in Los Angeles versus the Dodgers.
