Randall Delgado bolstered his case for the fifth spot in Arizona's rotation on Monday by allowing two runs over five innings in a 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

Delgado kept the Dodgers off the board until a two-run single by Carl Crawford with one out in the bottom of the fifth. The young right-hander gave up six hits and a walk while notching three strikeouts. Tyler Skaggs was optioned to the minors on Monday, so the battle for the final rotation spot is down to Delgado and Patrick Corbin.

Diamondbacks acquired RHP Randall Delgado from the Braves in the seven-player Justin Upton trade.

Delgado, a 22-year-old from Panama, has posted a cool 3.95 ERA in 127 2/3 career major league innings. He's projected to eventually develop into a front-line starter, and his arsenal of pitches that sink and fade should fit well at Chase Field. He'll be in the running for the Diamondbacks' final rotation spot this spring.

Braves optioned RHP Randall Delgado to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Delgado pitched well in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing just two runs on six hits in a no-decision against the Nationals. Ben Sheets has taken his spot in the rotation, but Delgado has enough talent and has displayed enough promise to get another opportunity soon. He'll be the first option called upon when the Braves need another starter.
