Jeff Niemann gave up two runs over five innings in a win over the Red Sox on Saturday. Niemann gave up four hits (three of them singles) and walked two while striking out six. He was pulled after throwing 56 out of 89 pitches for strikes. Niemann now has a 1.64 ERA and 26/5 K/BB ratio in three starts against the Red Sox this season. Things could change depending upon Wednesday's doubleheader, but he currently projects for a start against the Blue Jays next week.
