Framber Valdez surrendered four runs over six innings on Saturday in a no-decision against the Astros.

Valdez coughed up a two-run homer to Cam Smith in the second inning and managed to do just enough to avoid being saddled with a loss against his former organization. He struck out two and didn’t hand out a free pass. He’s turned things around recently, posting a solid 3.21 ERA and 23/9 K/BB ratio across 28 innings over five starts since June 5. He’s likely to take the ball against the Rangers on Saturday in his next outing.
