Jeff Niemann allowed just two runs on six hits in 7 2/3 innings on Monday, improving to 10-7 in Tampa's 5-2 win over the Orioles. Niemann struck out five and walked two in his first quality start in three outings. Now the owner of a 3.97 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 99/33 K/BB ratio through his first 129 1/3 innings of work, Niemann will make his biggest start of the season on Saturday when he takes on the Red Sox in Boston.
