Otto (0-3) took the loss in Thursday's 3-0 defeat at the hands of the Orioles, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in five innings.
Coming off two disaster starts, Otto got back on track against Baltimore and needed just 81 pitches to navigate five innings. The 25-year-old wore down a bit after delivering three scoreless frames, permitting a single run in both the fourth and fifth innings, which could've prompted manager Chris Woodward to pull Otto despite the reasonable pitch count. The seven strikeout's tie Otto's career high set in his first start, and he's projected for another start next week versus the Angels.
