Rasmus pitched three scoreless innings while striking out six and allowing just one hit against the A's on Saturday. Rasmus pitched close to as well as he possibly could Saturday, but the 26-year-old is not stretched out as a starter, meaning that he was only able to throw 49 pitches in the outing. This leaves some uncertainty as to who will occupy the slot during the next turn, but Rasmus certainly did all he could to get another shot Saturday against the Twins.
