McClanahan pitched five shutout innings Wednesday against Boston, yielding just three hits and a walk with three strikeouts in a no-decision.
After giving up four runs to the Red Sox in his previous start six days ago, McClanahan bounced back nicely Wednesday, allowing just three singles. He was pulled after five innings despite having thrown only 68 pitches (44 strikes). The 24-year-old McClanahan, who is tentatively lined up to face the Blue Jays on the road in his next start, has held his opponents to two earned runs or fewer in seven of his last 10 outings.
