Pomeranz has been nearly unhittable since moving to the Giants' bullpen. In 4 1/3 scoreless innings, he only has allowed one hit while recording six strikeouts.
As a starter, the veteran lefty was 2-9 with a 6.10 ERA. For his career, Pomeranz has a 2.86 ERA as a reliever compared to 4.26 as a starter.
