Schwellenbach (1-4) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, giving up four runs on five hits over five innings. He struck out seven and walked two.
Advice: Schwellenbach cruised through four innings before running into a buzzsaw in the fifth, courtesy of two-run homers by O'Neil Cruz and Rowdy Tellez. He had a similar issue in his last start against the Cardinals, giving up all four of his runs in the third inning. The rookie right-hander has now given up at least four runs in half of his six career starts and has seen his ERA jump to 5.68. He's scheduled for a tough test next against the Phillies on Saturday.
