Broxton gave up two hits over a scoreless eighth inning in Friday's 10-0 win over the Braves. He also recorded a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old right-hander now has three consecutive one-inning, two-hit scoreless appearances, as he continues to pitch to contact but mostly avoid disaster. Broxton had surrendered less hits than innings pitched in five straight seasons coming into 2017, but he's now yielded 14 hits over 8.2 frames, leading to an unsightly 2.31 WHIP. However, following a rough April 10 outing against the Nationals in which he gave up three earned runs in two-thirds of an inning, Broxton has turned in scoreless efforts in six of his subsequent seven trips to the mound.
