Andriese (6-0) was successful in his first relief effort during Wednesday's 3-2, extra-inning victory over the Mariners, surrendering only a walk over 2.2 innings while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old performed exactly as hoped when he was shifted to the bullpen, providing some valuable long relief in a game that stretched to 13 innings. It was an extension of the success Andriese had largely enjoyed over his seven starts this season, during which he'd generated a 2.82 ERA. If Wednesday's effort is any indication, Andriese's ability to eat up innings will serve to provide Erasmo Ramirez much-needed down time, making the bullpen more effective as a whole.
