Crawford (8-10) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing three earned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out four in 5.1 innings.
Crawford pitched well Sunday, throwing just 75 pitches while limiting the potent Orioles offense to just two hits. Unfortunately for Crawford, one of those hits was a solo home run by Adley Rutschman in the fifth, breaking the scoreless tie. Home runs have been a recurring issue for Crawford, who has surrendered a whopping 14 long balls in 29.1 innings since the All-Star break. The right-hander now owns a 4.25 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 133:36 K:BB in 142 innings (25 starts) this season. He lines up to face the Diamondbacks next weekend.
