Asher (2-0) allowed four runs (none earned) on five hits over five innings in a victory over the Mets on Saturday. He also had one strikeout and no walks.
Philadelphia took a 10-0 lead, but nearly gave it away, as the Phillies just barely held to win 10-8. Asher was cruising along through three and worked out of trouble in the fourth, but then two errors in the fifth led to five unearned runs. Asher has allowed just four earned runs in three MLB starts. He has a 1.66 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and nine strikeouts in 21.2 innings this season.
