Kazmir issued a leadoff walk and another with two outs in the first inning, but was able to emerge from the frame unscathed. He would ultimately walk four batters and allow five hits, but only surrendered two runs in the outing over five innings. He was unable to pitch further into the game, however, as he required 107 pitches to get through those five innings.
Kazmir lowered his ERA to 5.94 in his seventh start, while striking out six batters. He exited the start with a 3-2 lead but ultimately earned a no decision, in a 7-4 loss, as the bullpen fell apart late.
Kazmir is 2-2 on the season, with 14 walks and 36 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings so far.
