Porcello (16-7) tossed five innings of one-run ball Tuesday to earn the win against the Braves. He struck out six.
Porcello allowed a solo home run in the second inning, but he allowed just two baserunners during the rest of his outing as he stifled a worthy opponent. He induced plenty of weak contact, but his pitch count rose quickly and limited him to a shorter outing. This was a nice bounce-back effort for Porcello, who'd allowed 12 earned runs over his previous 17 innings, earning a pair of losses in the process. He'll take a 4.20 ERA into his next scheduled start against the Blue Jays.
