Yields two runs in short outing Contreras pitched four innings Monday, allowing two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out two batters and taking a no-decision against Cincinnati.
Impact Contreras surrendered a run in each of the first and third innings but allowed only two total baserunners across four frames. A 50-minute rain delay halted play in the bottom of the fourth, and the Pirates opted to not have the rookie right-hander warm back up and return. Contreras consequently failed to complete five innings for the third straight start, though this was an improvement over his previous outing, when he gave up six runs over 4.2 frames. Aside from a few blow-ups, he's shown promise this season, posting a 3.72 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 86:37 K:BB over 92 innings.

Hit hard in loss Contreras (5-5) took the loss Wednesday, allowing six runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out 10.
Impact The Yankees hit Contreras hard Wednesday, as five of the six hits he surrendered went for extra bases. However, most of the damage came via an Oswaldo Cabrera grand slam in the first inning as he allowed just two runs after that point. He recorded double-digit punchouts for the first time this season, and Wednesday marks the first time that he has allowed more than two runs since Aug. 17. He will take a 3.68 ERA into his next start.

On limited pitch count Contreras allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out three across four innings Wednesday against the Reds. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Contreras was pulled after only 55 pitches as the Pirates seek to manage his workload. He was effective during his time on the mound, racking up nine swinging strikes and nine called strikes. Since being recalled to the majors Aug. 17, Contreras has maintained a 2.43 ERA and 24:13 K:BB across 34.1 innings. He's also worked at least six innings in three of those six outings, though he may continue to get yanked early in appearances down the stretch.
