For rookie left-hander Tucker Davidson, Wednesday night's start at the Philadelphia Phillies represents another opportunity to show he might be a long-term solution for the hole left in the Atlanta Braves' starting rotation.
Davidson (0-0, 2.31 ERA) is the latest young pitcher to get a chance toreplace Huascar Ynoa (broken hand) in the rotation. He made a good case for another start Thursday in Atlanta's 5-1 win over Washington, throwing 5 2/3 scoreless innings that were marred only by five walks.
Davidson was no-decisioned because he left with the game tied at 0.
