Neal struck out one and surrendered seven earned runs on nine hits over 3.1 innings in Friday's 13-3 loss to the Nationals.
The right-hander threw a whopping 69 pitches during his brief time on the mound, surrendering home runs to Jayson Werth, Brian Goodwin and Anthony Rendon that netted a total of six runs. It was only Neal's second appearance since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville on May 24, with the 28-year-old having fired three scoreless frames against the Indians last Monday in his other outing.
