Kirby (2-1) earned the win Friday, allowing two runs on three hits over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out five and did not walk a batter.
Kirby is off to a solid start in his second major-league season. The right-hander has pitched at least six innings in each of his last three appearances and also sports a stingy 1.06 WHIP. He is tentatively slated to face the Phillies on the road in his next start.
