Earns win Tuesday Stratton (1-0) recorded two strikeouts in a perfect 1-2-3 inning against the Padres on Tuesday as he picked up his first win of the season.

Impact Stratton entered with two men on and nobody out in the seventh after David Bednar allowed an infield single and a walk before being pulled. The troubling scenario didn't phase Stratton as he went to work and got out of the inning with two strikeouts and a fielder's choice to keep the Padres from cutting into the Pirates' 7-4 lead at the time. The 30-year-old currently owns a 6.35 ERA after a troublesome outing against the Reds on April 7 but has posted back-to-back shutout appearances and has two holds and a win to his name so far this season.

Pirates avoid arbitration with pitcher Musgrove, 8 others

The Pittsburgh Pirates have reached contract agreements for the 2021 season with pitcher Joe Musgrove and eight others

JANUARY 15, 2021 • Associated Press

Avoids arbitration with Pirates Stratton agreed to a one-year contract with the Pirates on Friday, avoiding arbitration.

Impact Stratton logged a 3.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB in 30 innings (27 appearances) out of the bullpen last year. He wouldn't be in the late-inning mix on most teams, but the Pirates lack stability near the back of the bullpen, so Stratton could be a source of holds and the occassional save this year.

Crumbles in the ninth Stratton (2-1) allowed three runs on three hits and a walk while striking out one across 1.2 innings as he took the loss Friday against the Indians.

Impact The Pirates tried bargaining for a six-out save from Stratton and came up just short. The 30-year-old pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning but could not replicate his success in the ninth. He started off by walking Tyler Naquin, who quickly scored from first on a double by Jordan Luplow to cut the Pirates' 3-1 lead in half. Luplow would then come around to tie the game at three apiece after Delino DeShields singled him home. Stratton was able to record two outs but could not get the game into extras as Cesar Hernandez pulled a fastball down the right-field line to score DeShields from first to walk it off for the Indians. Despite the rough outing, Stratton still has a 3.90 ERA and 39:13 K:BB across 30 innings this season.

Gets nicked by Royals Stratton allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk in 1.2 innings in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Royals. He struck out three batters.

Impact For just the second time in his last 12 outings, Stratton gave up an earned run. The right-hander offers top 10 fastball spin rate (2614 RPM). Aside from one disastrous outing (four earned runs in two-thirds of an inning on Aug. 14), he's limited opponents to five runs in 22 innings over 19 games. The 29-year-old has demonstrated consistency in 2020 and could move into more high-leverage situations next season.
