Phillies starting pitcher Alec Asher allowed four runs on seven hits over five innings in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals. He struck out four and walked one.
Asher has lost all four of his starts since his promotion from Triple-A. He has a 9.78 ERA and an 11:7 K:BB ratio in 19 1/3 innings. He will likely stay in the rotation for the remainder of the year despite the poor results because the Phillies lack other options.
