Baz did not factor into the decision in a win over the Cardinals on Thursday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings while striking out two.
Baz was shaky in the first inning, walking the leadoff man and then hitting Willson Contreras with a pitch two batters later before eventually allowing three runs to come across in the frame. The right-hander was then tagged for another run in the third after allowing three consecutive batters to reach with two outs. Baz failed to make it through five innings for the third time in six starts this season, and his two strikeouts marked his second-lowest total of the season. He's also issued multiple free passes in three of his last four outings. The rookie will look to secure his first win of the season when the Rays take on the Astros at home next week.
