It’s a unit that through 10 games has pitched to a 3.13 ERA, which ranked third in the National League entering Monday.
Only once during that stretch has a starter failed to complete five innings — David Peterson lasted just 4 ¹/₃ innings against the Giants on Thursday. Most notably, the team has received solid work from Kodai Senga in his two starts.
“The guys are healthy and in a good spot, which I think is exciting,” Clay Holmes said. “To be this early, on somewhat limited pitch counts, and to see the length that people have been able to provide is encouraging.”
Holmes pitched seven shutout innings against the Giants on Saturday, and through two starts owns a 1.42 ERA.
