Wilson allowed three runs on seven hits in 5.2 innings en route to a no-decision against the A's on Thursday. He struck out two and walked three in the outing Wilson has been grinding through his starts of late as he failed to get his K:BB ratio better than 1:1 for the sixth straight outing Thursday, while unable to complete six frames on 98 pitches. Efficiency has never been the left-handers strong suit, but a seven-inning start from the veteran against the Astros on Wednesday would likely be appreciated, the bullpen could be taxed in short order with Wilson and Hector Santiago in regular rotation.
