Edward Cabrera allowed three runs with seven strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in a win over the Padres on Tuesday.
Cabrera struck out two in a clean first inning, then surrendered a solo homer to Xander Bogaerts to lead off the second. The Padres added another run in the fourth on a walk and a base hit. Cabrera recorded the first two outs in the sixth, then allowed a third run to score on a hit batter and two singles. That would end his day at 99 pitches, 66 for strikes. He generated an impressive 20 whiffs to strike out seven. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 3.06 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 29/12 K/BB ratio across 35 1/3 innings into a start against the Reds in Chicago on Monday.
