Dominant over six scoreless frames Musgrove (6-5) earned the win over the Giants on Saturday, allowing three hits over six scoreless innings while striking out eight.

Impact Musgrove hit Mark Canha with a pitch to open the bottom of the first before then limiting the Giants to just three singles over his six innings of work. The right-hander induced 12 whiffs on the night en route to posting at least eight strikeouts for the third time in his last five outings. Musgrove has also hurled at least six shutout frames three times over that stretch while going 3-1. He now carries a 3.31 ERA over three starts in September to go along with a dominant 23:3 K:BB.

Allows three homers in loss Musgrove (5-5) took the loss Sunday against the Giants, allowing six runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven over 4.1 innings.

Impact Musgrove blanked the Giants through three innings but completely unraveled in the fourth, allowing three home runs in the inning. It was an uncharacteristically bad start for Musgrove, who hadn't allowed a home run in any of his five starts since coming off the injured list Aug. 12. The six runs allowed also matched the amount of runs he'd given up combined over his last seven starts. Musgrove's strikeout numbers have been up, as he's sporting a 27:4 K:BB over his last 23.1 innings. For the year, he owns a 4.54 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 78:22 K:BB in 81.1 innings. Musgrove lines up to face the Giants on the road over the weekend his next time out.
