Stripling (0-1) gave up three earned runs on eight hits and three walks with just three strikeouts in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Marlins.

Stripling is trending in the wrong direction, as his ERA has risen with each start while he has failed to pitch into the seventh inning in any of his last three outings after throwing 7.1 innings of one-run ball in his debut. The 26-year-old rookie will resume the quest for his first big-league win Saturday against the Padres.
