Pearson (1-1) allowed a hit and two walks with two strikeouts in two innings to earn the win in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader versus Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old worked the fifth and sixth innings of a game Baltimore was leading until the seventh when Toronto pulled ahead. That was enough to give Pearson his first win of the year in his fifth appearance. He's allowed seven runs (six earned) across 7.1 innings with a 7:7 K:BB, so it's safe to assume he'll remain in a multi-inning relief role going forward.
