Pomeranz (8-7) fired seven innings of two-hit, shutout ball while also surrendering two walks and striking out six in a 6-0 victory over the Dodgers.
The dominating southpaw stymied the Dodgers throughout his seven frames, producing his second seven-inning shutout over the last three trips to the mound. Factoring in the fact that he gave up only one earned run versus the Yankees over seven innings in his prior start, Pomeranz has now yielded only 10 hits and a single earned run over his last 24 innings, while striking out 19. The outstanding streak follows a late May-mid-July six-start stretch in which he went 1-4 but received only a combined eight runs of support from his offense. Pomeranz's unremarkable 8-7 record is in rather sharp contrast to his stellar 2.47 ERA and 1.06 WHIP.
