Springs struck out five in six shutout innings while allowing six hits and two walks in a 4-2 win Tuesday against St. Louis. He did not factor into the decision.
Springs allowed baserunners in each inning but managed to pitch around trouble and hold the Cardinals scoreless. The lefty threw a season-high 92 pitches. He has excelled since moving into a starting role in May, compiling a 2.01 ERA and 31:7 K:BB in 31.1 innings. As he continues to build endurance and pitch later into games, he should have more chances to pick up victories.
