Tomoyuki Sugano took the loss in Sunday’s game against the Phillies, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings pitched.
He struck out two and allowed three homers, including back-to-back blasts by Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper in the first inning. It was the third time in eight starts he’s allowed four or more runs, but he’s given up two or fewer in all the rest. The right-hander isn’t a recommended streaming option in his next appearance, currently scheduled to be at home against the Diamondbacks.
