Joe Ross took the mound tonight with a streak of 11 1⁄3 scoreless innings going over his last two starts, which saw the 26-year-old righty throw 5 1⁄3 scoreless against Arizona’s D-backs in Chase Field, and six scoreless against the San Francisco Giants in Oracle Park.
Davey Martinez told Ross after the outing against the Giants that he liked what he saw from his starter.
“I told him,” Martinez said, “I said, ‘Keep doing what you’re doing.’ I mean his two-seamer is working, he’s throwing his four-seamer on occasion, his changeup was really good today, so I really liked what he did.
