SETENTA Y SEIS: Hector Velázquez has allowed 0 runs in his last 8.1 IP, all in relief...He suffered the loss in his ML debut on 5/18/17 at OAK, but since then he is 7-0 with a 1.51 ERA (7 ER/41.2 IP) in 14 outings (4 starts)...In 10 career relief appearances, he owns a 0.83 ERA (2 ER/21.2 IP) and a .521 opponent OPS (0 HR).
