Cody Stashak was perfect in just his third outing since being activated off the Injured List because of a back injury and was able to strikeout two batters in the process, James McCann and Luis Robert, the first two batters he faced in the game.
Stashak, who appeared in 18 games last season, is still being recognized as a rookie this season because of Major League Baseball service time requirements.
The right handed was credited with a loss last season in his 25 innings pitched.
However, in the shortened 2020 MLB season Stashak already has pitched 11 and two-third innings in nine games with a 3.09 ERA, allowing seven hits, four runs, three walks, and 15 strikeouts.
