Ortiz (5-4) took the loss Monday against Texas, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out seven.
The Pirates right-hander pitched relatively well, allowing six or fewer baserunners for his third straight outing, but could not contain Corey Seager. Ortiz yielded two homers to Seager, accounting for all four runs allowed. The 25-year-old has had great difficult in keeping the ball in the yard lately, allowing nine home runs over his last five appearances. During that time, he's pitched to a 6.26 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB across 27.1 innings. Ortiz is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Reds at home this weekend.
