Andriese allowed four runs on five hits, walking two and striking out three while lasting just 5.1 innings in a 7-5 win over Detroit on Friday night.

EDGE Analysis

Andriese (3-0) won his third straight decision, but after two exceptionally strong performances, this one wasn't exactly a masterpiece. He needed 92 pitches (59 for strikes) to record 16 outs, and he was frequently in trouble. Andriese profiles as a swingman, so he can fill multiple roles, including taking a regular turn in the rotation as needed. The Tigers are a tough challenge so this one can probably be at least partially excused, but he'll need to get back on track next time out against Miami.
