Given what was likely one more chance to prove himself, San Francisco Giants left-hander Drew Pomeranz rewarded manager Bruce Bochy's faith. He will return to the mound Wednesday against the team he faced when the rebound started.

On June 7 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Pomeranz turned a tweak in his delivery into five scoreless innings as he held one of the best offenses in baseball to just three hits. Pomeranz did not get the victory, but the Giants won the game 2-1.

It was a far cry from his previous outing on May 31 when he gave up eight runs on six hits with two walks in 1 1/3 innings in Baltimore. Had Bochy decided to make a change in the rotation at that point, few would have blinked, as Pomerz was 1-6 with an 8.08 ERA on the season then.
