Imanaga (9-6) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out two.
While he fell one strikeout shy of tying his season-low output, Imanaga extended his streak of quality starts to six. The left-hander has permitted more than three runs on just three occasions in 21 starts this season and has pitched at least five frames in all but two outings. Imanaga sports a 3.15 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 97:23 K:BB over 123 innings, and he'll be trying to add to his streak of quality starts in a rematch with Atlanta early next week.
