Pepiot did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and four walks over three innings against the Padres. He struck out four.
Pepiot racked up 89 pitches through three-plus innings, including being pulled after tossing 22 pitches without recording an out during a three-run fourth inning. It was Pepiot's shortest outing over his last 14 starts since working only two frames back on May 5. It's also the first time he's allowed more than two earned runs in a start since the middle of June. Pepiot will look to rebound during his next start, slated to take place when the Rays travel to Baltimore to take on the Orioles.
