Porcello tossed seven shutout innings vs. the Twins on Friday, giving up three hits and struck out five. The righty showed continued growth in his secondary pitches, which set up his sinker -- something Jim Leyland believes has made a difference.

Wang pitched seven scoreless innings while striking out five against the Rangers in his last start. He has gone at least seven innings in both of his two outings this season after opting out of his Minor League contract with the Yankees.
