Falter (0-2) took the loss Thursday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.2 innings against Cincinnati. He struck out four.
While Falter turned in decent performances in his first two starts, this one left plenty to be desired. The California native has been unable to complete the sixth inning through three starts and has a 4.80 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB over 15 innings. His next turn through the rotation tentatively lines up for early next week against the White Sox.
