Allard didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 8-4 extra-innings loss to the Red Sox, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five.
The southpaw battled through 89 pitches (55 strikes) to deliver his fourth straight quality start and sixth of the season, but Allard exited the game on the hook for his 11th loss of the year until Texas rallied in the top of the ninth inning. The 24-year-old will carry a 4.86 ERA and 84:21 K:BB through 100 innings into his next outing.
