Ortiz (5-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Padres, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings.
Tuesday marked Ortiz's first loss in eight starts this year and it was his first loss since May 8. The Padres tacked on an unearned run against him in the first due to a fielding error by Oneil Cruz. Ortiz went on to face one over the minimum through the next three innings before David Peralta led off the fifth with a solo home run to right center field. Ortiz has now given up one run or zero in four of his last seven starts and owns a 3.32 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 71:30 K:BB in 95 innings this season. Oritz lines up to face the Rangers on the road next week.
