Wood (14-2) returned from the disabled list Sunday, pitching six innings while giving up four runs on seven hits with two walks and seven strikeouts against the Padres. He was the losing pitcher of record in a 6-4 loss.
Wood missed two starts with a minor sternum injury before returning to the mound Sunday. Home runs continue to plague the breakout star, as he has given up 10 over his last seven starts after surrendering just two in his previous 16 appearances. Wood still owns a sparkling 2.57 ERA on the season, but it has slowly creeped closer to his 3.02 FIP in the second half. The Dodgers are currently running a six-man rotation, lining the 26-year-old up to start against the Rockies at home Saturday.
