“With a no-decision last night, David Parkinson’s streak of six-straight starts with decisions was snapped, which was the longest streak of such by a Reading starter in 2023. Parkinson was 4-2 over that stretch and in seven starts dating back to June 17, he owns a 3.54 ERA. Parkinson missed all of the 2022 season and has proven to be a steady arm in the Reading rotation as of late.” - from Media notes supplied by Jake Starr - Fightins Media Relations and Press Box Manager
