Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles took the loss Wednesday, giving up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and five walks in five innings while striking out one in his team's 9-1 defeat against the Diamondbacks.
After giving up a pair of runs in the bottom of the first inning, Lyles (2-2) issued his first home run of the season in the fifth inning to cap a five-run frame. It's the second time in his last three starts he's issued five walks.
Lyles owns a 4.25 ERA and 15:16 K:BB ratio in 29 2/3 innings. He's scheduled to face the Diamondbacks again Tuesday, this time in Colorado.
