Kikuchi allowed four hits and three walks while striking out six in five scoreless innings in Sunday's win over the Yankees. He didn't factor into the decision.
Kikuchi posted his first scoreless outing in nearly two months during Sunday's start, but he had to settle for a no-decision in the low-scoring contest. The southpaw allowed seven runs in his first start after the All-Star break, but he's settled down since then and has posted a 2.86 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 22 innings across his last four appearances. He tentatively lines up to take the mound at home against the Blue Jays on Saturday.
