Leiter pitched five innings Wednesday against the Rockies, giving up four runs on seven hits and two walks to take a no-decision. He struck out five.
Leiter surrendered more than three runs in a start for the fifth time this season and remains without a win since his season debut March 30. The 26-year-old had a 3-1 lead after the top of the fourth inning Wednesday, but he walked home a run in the bottom of the frame and then gave up two more runs in the fifth. Leiter has a 4.61 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 60:23 K:BB across 54.2 innings this year and next lines up to face the Astros at home early next week.
