Pirates pitcher Vance Worley allowed three runs — one earned — during Thursday afternoon's 4-2 loss to the Phillies.
Worley went only four innings and two of the runs allowed were due to errors. However, he tossed 81 pitches over those four innings while striking out zero. He gave up eight hits and one walk.
Worley has had a tough time striking out batters of late as this is his second consecutive start without a strikeout. He now holds a 4.38 ERA.
His next start is projected for May 20 against the Twins.
