Pirates' Bailey Falter: Ends up with no-decision Sunday

Link copied!

Falter did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers. He allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks while recording two strikeouts over four innings.

All four runs against Falter were put up in the first two innings with the Dodgers plating a pair with two outs in the first and second. Falter was able to hold things scoreless over the next two frames, but his day was done after he needed 93 pitches to get through four. Sunday was only the third time this season he's walked three or more batters, and he's now struck out fewer than five batters in in six of his last seven starts while posting just one quality start over that span. For the year, Falter owns a 4.07 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 67:31 K:BB in 101.2 innings. He lines up to face the Mariners over the weekend his next time on the mound.
