Kay pitched four scoreless innings, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out six in the win over the Phillies on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision.
Kay allowed just three base runners in his four innings pitched. This was his first start in which he didn't allow any runs. The 26-year-old is more acclimated with bulk relief than starting, with his four innings Saturday tying his longest outing of the season. He has struggled this season, carrying a 7.24 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 13.2 innings. His next start is tentatively lined up for Friday against Tampa Bay.
