Michael Lorenzen talks about Cincinnati Reds' series win vs. White Sox Michael Lorenzen struck out a career-high 8 batters in 4 2/3 innings in the Reds' 7-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2020 • CINCINNATI.COM
Fans eight in no-decision Lorenzen allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out eight over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Sunday.
Impact Cincinnati put up five runs in the bottom of the fourth, making it a 5-0 game. Lorenzen gave two runs back the next half inning and manager David Bell pulled Lorenzen at 93 pitches, when he was one out short of qualifying for the win. He probably won't get another start with the Reds playing six games next week and Sonny Gray (back) slated to return Tuesday, but Lorenzen is very much back on track. The right-hander has a 1.80 ERA in his last 25 innings after opening the season with a 16.88 ERA in his first seven appearances.

Earns win in spot start Lorenzen (2-1) recorded the win Tuesday versus Pittsburgh after giving up one run on four hits with six strikeouts and zero walks across five innings.
Impact The 28-year-old received his first start since 2018 with Sonny Gray (back) on the injured list, and he performed well as he garnered 15 swinging strikes on 76 pitches. Lorenzen has a 4.56 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB over 25.2 innings and is likely to return to the bullpen role despite the strong showing as a spot starter.

Starting Tuesday Lorenzen will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Lorenzen will start his first game since 2018 as a replacement for Sonny Gray (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Lorenzen hasn't lasted more than four innings in any of his relief appearances this season, but he should be well-rested since he last pitched Sept. 10.

Saves bullpen Monday Lorenzen threw four scoreless innings in relief in Monday's loss to the Cardinals, striking out three while allowing two hits and a walk.
Impact While this was a huge effort to save the rest of the bullpen, it's not very good for Lorenzen's fantasy value. He's not going to be available for a few days, plus the Reds went out and acquired Archie Bradley, who presumably will be ahead of Lorenzen in the pecking order should anything happen to Raisel Iglesias.
