Finnegan (9-11) allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits, struck out one and walked three over just 2.1 innings in the night cap of a double header versus the Pirates. Finnegan took the loss.
Right fielder Scott Schebler made an error with one out in the second that scored a run from third. Then after a fielder's choice, Andrew McCutchen singled in two more runs, so all three of those runs were unearned. Even still, it was far from a fine start for Finnegan, who walked the opposing pitcher twice, including once with the bases loaded. He has 12 walks in his last 12.1 innings. Overall, Finnegan is 9-11 with a 4.10 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 141 strikeouts in 167 innings.
