Tim Adleman failed to provide length in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals, surrendering three runs on four hits over five innings.
Adleman struck out six and walked just one on the afternoon. Two of the four hits he allowed left the park, though, putting something of a damper on what might have otherwise been a nice outing. Randal Grichuk burned him for a two-run homer in the second inning and Kolten Wong whacked a solo shot in the fifth. The 28-year-old right-hander will carry a 4.02 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 30/13 K/BB ratio (40 1/3 innings) into a road date with the Pirates next time he toes the rubber.
