Pruitt (3-1) gave up five earned runs on seven hits over one inning in Wednesday's 10-6 loss to the Marlins. He also recorded a strikeout and was charged with his first blown save.
Pruitt relieved Blake Snell to start the sixth but gave up seven consecutive hits before recording an out, which quickly erased the 4-2 lead he'd been asked to protect. The frame was slow torture for the rookie, as the first six hits were singles before Giancarlo Stanton capped off the barrage with a two-bagger that plated the fourth and fifth runs of the frame. The disastrous appearance ended an impressive stretch for the 27-year-old right-hander, who'd given up just two earned runs across the 12.2 innings that had encompassed his previous five trips to the mound.
