Devenski didn't receive a decision Thursday despite holding the Mariners to just one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six sparkling innings.

EDGE Analysis

Yeah, that's a lot of sixes. After opening the year as Houston's long man, Devenski has transitioned into the rotation and looked good doing it -- including leaving this one in line for a victory before the bullpen blew it. The 25-year-old rookie has leaped nearly directly to the majors from Double-A (he was with Triple-A Fresno to start the year, but didn't make an appearance before being promoted), and the early returns have been promising. That said, his track record in the minors is rife with inconsistency and he may not get to hold his rotation spot for long, so don't let your expectations get too high.
