Pelfrey (6-9) went 5.1 innings Wednesday, giving up one earned run on five hits while walking and striking out a batter apiece in a 3-2 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's no-decision was a step in the right direction for Pelfrey, as the right-hander allowed fewer than three earned runs for the first time since Aug. 18. Entering his start with a gaudy 5.59 ERA on the road, Pelfrey didn't allow a runner to reach scoring position until the 4th inning. Pelfrey's rotation spot seems to be secure, though his abysmal K/9 and WHIP eliminate him from relevance in most leagues.
