Takes no-decision Sunday Foltynewicz allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings for a no-decision in Sunday's 4-3 win over Seattle.
Impact Foltynewicz wasn't very efficient, needing 93 pitches for 15 outs, but this has to be seen as a positive. He didn't give up any home runs for the first time in 11 starts after entering the contest with 20 homers allowed over the previous 50.1 innings. The right-hander, who feels like he's one more bad start away from losing a spot in the rotation, is next expected to pitch Friday on the road in Oakland.

Next start on short rest Foltynewicz is the expected starter for Thursday's game at Detroit, Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Foltynewicz, who was shelled in his previous start Sunday, will be working on short rest. Texas manager Chris Woodward considered a bullpen day but eventually landed on Foltynewicz as the starter for the series finale against the Tigers. Woodward said the starter will be on a limited pitch count due to the abbreviated rest schedule; Foltynewicz threw 42 pitches Sunday and was removed after 1.2 innings. This could be an important start for the right-hander. Woodward, whose team was shut out in three straight contests before scoring a run Tuesday night, has been vocal about his team's recent performance and for players to show more fight, per Jordan Horrobin of MLB.com.

Shelled in loss Foltynewicz (2-9) lost Sunday's 10-0 match with Toronto in the second game of a doubleheader, allowing 10 runs on eight hits and two walks in 1.2 innings.
Impact Foltynewicz endured his worst start all year, surrendering nearly as many home runs (4) as outs (5), and couldn't make it out of the second inning for the first time. Prior to Sunday's outing, he had allowed four runs or less in five straight starts and lowered his ERA to a still high 5.11, but it jumped back up 0.8 runs to 5.91 following the disaster appearance.
