Phillies rookie starter Alec Asher was hammered for six runs on seven hits over five innings in a 7-3 loss to the Cubs on Friday. Asher was starting the second game of a doubleheader and was unable to contain a dangerous Cubs offense in this one.
Asher (0-3, 10.67 ERA) has now made three starts in his young career and has given up at least four runs in all of his outings.
