Diekman pitched a scoreless inning with two strikeouts Sunday in his final appearance of the 2014 season. Diekman ends the year 5-5 with a 3.80 ERA and a 100:35 K:BB ratio in 71 innings. He was very tough on lefties this season, but has some work to do to refine his approach against righties. They hit .256 against him, and while he struck out 62 right handers in 46.2 innings, Diekman also walked 30.
