Bundy (2-8) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out six across 6.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Thursday against the Rangers.
Bundy tallied his first quality start since May 2 and his first win since June 7 with this effort. Despite the strong results, there were still some concerning signs as he started only 10 of the 24 batters he faced with a strike and also produced only seven swinging strikes on 84 total pitches. Nevertheless, it was an encouraging outing for Bundy, and he should have a chance to stick in the rotation so long as Alex Cobb (wrist) is sidelined.
