Michael Lorenzen completed six innings and held the Twins to one run in a victory Monday.
Lorenzen struck out three and walked none in his first win of the year. He has a 3.18 ERA after two starts. Still, with Kris Bubic excelling so far, Lorenzen might be in danger of getting shifted to the pen after Kyle Wright comes off the IL. That’s not an issue just yet, so Lorenzen will face the Guardians this weekend.
Michael Lorenzen wasn’t at his best in Tuesday night’s loss to the Brewers, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits across 5 1/3 innings.
The 33-year-old right-hander piled up seven strikeouts on the night while also allowing three walks. He served up a solo homer to Eric Haase and allowed an unearned run in the third inning, then the Brewers scratched out another pair while chasing Lorenzen in the sixth inning. The 33-year-old righty got 12 whiffs on 97 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 29 percent. He’ll try again to get in the win column when he does battle against the Twins at home on Monday night.
Michael Lorenzen worked five innings and gave up three runs Friday against the Mariners.
Lorenzen’s 78 pitches today produced one missed swing and zero strikeouts. 12 of the 21 balls in play against him were hit hard. Still, he kept it together, as per usual. His spring ends with a 4.20 ERA and an 8/4 K/BB in 15 innings.
Michael Lorenzen gave up one run over three innings on Wednesday against the Mariners.
Lorenzen struck out three and only handed out one free pass. He gave up only one hit, but it was a gargantuan first-inning homer to Julio Rodríguez. The 33-year-old veteran righty will go undrafted in most fantasy leagues, but he offers some occasional streaming appeal in deeper mixed leagues.
