Jack Leiter yielded two runs in five innings and walked five Saturday in a no-decision against the Rangers.
The five walks put him at 94 pitches through five and ensured that he wouldn’t return for the sixth with a 4-2 lead. Things fell apart immediately after he left, as the White Sox scored six runs in the sixth. Still, that was more because of the defense than the bullpen. This really wasn’t one of Leiter’s more impressive outings. Besides the walks, he gave up 10 hard-hit balls, including a homer, and settled for just six whiffs and three strikeouts. He seems like a mediocre play in mixed leagues with the Cardinals next on the docket.
