Adleman (2-1) went five innings Tuesday night against the Yankees, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters to get the win.
Despite allowing two homers, Adleman was able to minimize the damage against the Yankees. Then he yielded to ace relievers Michael Lorenzen and Raisel Iglesias, who each pitched two innings to close the door. Adleman has provided some fantasy value with his 1.18 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB in 26.1 innings, but his ERA sits at 4.44 because he's served up a lot of homers -- seven, to be precise. He'll pitch next Sunday against the Giants.
