EDGE Analysis

Narveson performed admirably in his second start of the season after six relief appearances. The southpaw was shelled in his previous trip to the mound on Aug. 26, when he was chased by the Pirates in the fourth inning after surrendering eight hits and seven earned runs. Monday's performance marked only the second start for Narveson since April 2012, and was cut short by a blister that Narveson suffered on his left middle finger. It remains to be seen if the injury will prevent the veteran from taking his next scheduled turn in the rotation.
