Struggles with control Thursday
Lorenzen did not factor into the decision in Thursday's win over the Marlins, allowing four runs on four hits and six walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out one.
Analyse
Lorenzen couldn't find his command Thursday, as he issued a season-high six walks while throwing just 46 of his 95 pitches for strikes. Coming into the day, Lorenzen had pitched to a respectable 3.43 ERA in his previous four outings (21 innings), striking out 18 while issuing just four walks in that span. Overall, the veteran right-hander is 3-9 with a 6.91 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 67:32 K:BB across 86 innings this season. Lorenzen is currently lined up to face the Dodgers on the road his next time out.

Logs first victory since late April
Lorenzen (3-9) earned the win over Minnesota on Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out one batter over 5.2 innings.
Analyse
Lorenzen looked like he could be in for another rough outing when he allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base. However, the right-hander rebounded to escape the first frame with only one run on his ledger, and the Twins were able to push just one more run across the plate against him. Lorenzen was far from dominant -- he allowed at least one hit in all but one inning and managed just a single punchout -- but he pitched well enough to record his first victory since April 24. He logged an ugly 7.80 ERA and 1.82 WHIP across 10 appearances between victories, so Lorenzen will likely have to string together several strong performances before becoming a viable fantasy pickup.
