Rotogrinders on Biagini: Biagini struck out three and didn’t walk a batter. He was on a strict pitch count of around 70-75 pitches in his second start with the Jays and cruised through five innings with little difficulty in this one. He has now fired nine scoreless innings over his two starts for the Jays and is looking like a very intriguing mixed league option going forward.
After starting the year 0-4, Foltynewicz is finally in the win column. Foltynewicz struck out four and walked none in the win. He gave up six hits, with the only run scoring on a solo bomb from Justin Bour in the fourth inning. It was an encouraging bounceback performance after Folty was rocked for seven runs over four innings last time out. He’ll bring a 4.04 ERA into a start against the Blue Jays next week.
