Wacha was roughed up in a no-decision Tuesday against the Pirates, as he allowed five runs (four earned) on 10 hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.
Wacha was not hit as hard as his line might suggest, as eight of the 10 hits against him were singles and he gave up just one fly ball against eight grounders. But he wasn't able to put hitters away in critical situations with runners on base, as he induced just six swinging strikes. While those grounders won't find the outfield at this rate too often, games like this are the risk you run when you can't lock down at-bats via the strikeout.
