LANCE MCCULLERS NEWS

Yields four runs in loss McCullers (2-2) gave up four runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings in a loss to the Padres on Friday. He struck out two.

Impact McCullers wasn't particularly sharp, and the Padres took advantage of that to grind out runs in three of the five innings he worked. The right-hander has a 5.74 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 25 strikeouts in 31.1 innings this season. He's limited opponents to two runs or fewer in just three of his six starts. McCullers lines up for a home start versus the Angels on Wednesday.

Gives up four runs Friday McCullers allowed four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four in four innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Friday.

Impact McCullers needed 91 pitches (53 strikes) to get through the inefficient outing. The 26-year-old has a 5.40 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 10 innings this season. He'll need to do a better job of limiting baserunners in future starts if he's going to rack up wins. McCullers is expected to make his next start in Arizona on Wednesday.
