Lively left with a 2-0 lead, but it didn’t hold up, leaving him stuck on one victory for the season. It’s the third time he’s pitched at least five innings and allowed no runs, but he’s missed out on getting much run support. He’ll bring a 3.72 ERA into his next start in Washington, and he’ll make some sense as a streaming option in deep leagues then.

Lively was burned by the long ball in this one as all of the damage against him came courtesy of a three-run blast by Wilyer Abreau in the opening frame and a solo shot from Rafael Devers in the third. He struck out four and also issued a pair of walks. He’ll bring a pedestrian 4.40 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 23/11 K/BB ratio across 30 2/3 innings (six starts) into a home outing on Wednesday against the Twins.

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Saturday. Expect Friday’s scheduled starters — Tanner Houck and Ben Lively — to each pitch at some point on Saturday. The first game will start at 1:10 PM and the second will begin at 6:10 PM.

Cade Smith, Tim Herrin, Hunter Gaddis and Emmanuel Clase finished the six-hitter. Lively struck out three and walked one in his first win of the year. He’ll take a 3.86 ERA into his next start at home against the Red Sox.
