Lorenzen allowed a run in four of the five innings he appeared in, with each of them coming on home runs. He allowed four home runs in total despite an average exit velocity on contact of 89 mph overall. Lorenzen struck out five and walked one while posting a 28 percent whiff rate and 27 percent CSW. The long ball just did him in. He’s a tough streamer next week against the Red Sox.

The crafty veteran right-hander walked a pair while striking out four opposing hitters in the ballgame. The lone tally against him came on a leadoff homer by Junior Caminero in the fourth inning. Lorenzen got six swings and misses on 88 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll see if he can extend his personal winning streak to three games as he brings a 3.48 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 28/13 K/BB ratio (33 2/3 innings) into Monday’s matchup against the White Sox.

The 33-year-old right-hander allowed five hits on the day while issuing four walks. The lone blemish on his day came on a solo blast by Jordan Beck in his final inning of work. Lorenzen generated 12 swings and misses on 96 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 32 percent. He’ll try to build off of this strong outing as he carries a 3.90 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and a 24/11 K/BB ratio (27 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s showdown against the Rays in Tampa Bay.

The two teams went into an extended delay prior to first pitch with showers in the forecast before ultimately deciding against trying to get this one in. It’ll be made up on Thursday as a doubleheader. Wednesday’s original starters — Germán Márquez and Michael Lorenzen — will presumably take the ball at some point during the twin bill.
