Pomeranz (6-4) allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Tigers.
After a three-game stretch of effective pitching that featured swing-and-miss stuff and produced three straight wins, Pomeranz reverted back to the inefficient hurler who can't make it through five frames. The left-hander has failed to reach the minimum number of innings to qualify for a win in five of his 12 starts this season. He's thrown just 60.1 innings, averaging a tick over five per start. Pomeranz is next scheduled to start Friday, the first of a three-game set in Houston against the Astros, who rank second in runs per game (5.46) and first in batting average (.277).
