In his two starts Kingham got shelled to the tune of 9 runs allowed on 13 hits, four walks, and two home runs. He struck out seven batters and pitched 8 innings in his two starts, both of which were losses for the Pirates. This comes out to the tune of a 10.13 ERA.
Kingham started the season in the bullpen. In 12 2/3 innings pitched as a reliever this season he has allowed 9 runs on 13 hits, six walks, a home run, and 13 strikeouts.
