Andrew Abbott pitched well during Saturday’s victory over the Yankees, scattering five hits over five innings of one-run baseball.

Abbott racked up six strikeouts on the afternoon while issuing three walks. The lone tally against him came on a solo blast off the bat of Paul Goldschmidt in the opening inning. Abbott generated 11 swings and misses on 97 offerings on the day — five on his sweeper — while posting a CSW of 29 percent. He’ll look to replicate this fine performance as he totes a 3.83 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and a 64/39 K/BB ratio (84 2/3 innings) into Friday’s divisional showdown against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.
