Newcomb allowed only one run on three hits and a walk over six innings but had to settle for a no-decision in Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Giants. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

He was held to just 80 pitches (59 strikes) after rain delayed the start of the game following his warmup, but the disruption of his routine did nothing to throw Newcomb off. He's now provided the Braves with quality starts in each of his first three big-league outings, although his 1.96 ERA overstates how effective he's been given his 13:7 K:BB in 18.1 innings. Expect the lefty to remain in the rotation even if Bartolo Colon (oblique/back) is able to return to action next week.
