Rick Porcello goes five scoreless in victory
Rick Porcello - S - Detroit Tigers
March 10, 2013 - 4:10 PM ET
Rick Porcello shut out the Nationals for five innings, striking out four, in Detroit's 2-1 win Sunday.
Porcello can't be hurting his trade stock with nine scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts in his last two outings. Of course, he's also giving the Tigers more reason to keep him; he has the stuff to go for more strikeouts, and if he does start racking up some more, that would allow him to rely less on the team's porous infield defense.
