Asher gave up two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 6.1 innings in a no decision Tuesday against the Pirates.
Asher's second start of 2016 was unsurprisingly worse than his first, as the 24-year-old came back down to earth after throwing six scoreless innings against the Nationals. This was by no means a poor effort, though, indicating that he has improved significantly from a rookie season in which he posted a 9.31 ERA over 29 innings for the Phillies. He'll look to keep the good times rolling Sunday against Miami.
