Athletics pitcher Drew Pomeranz took the loss Wednesday, surrendering four earned runs on six hits and one walk in five innings while striking out five in his team's 6-1 loss to the Astros.
Pomeranz (1-1) served up a two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning, and the Athletics were unable to scrape together enough offense to catch up over the remainder of the game.
"It's pretty frustrating," Pomeranz said after the game, per the Associated Press. "They got hits at the right time, and they took advantage of them."
Combined with his seven shutout innings in his debut, Pomeranz has posted a 3.00 ERA and 11:1 K:BB ratio in 12 innings. He'll square off with the Angels in his next start.
