Astros starting pitcher Jordan Lyles surrendered six runs and 10 hits over 3 2/3 innings during Houston's 10-6 loss to Toronto in a Grapefruit League matchup Tuesday. He did not walk a batter for the third consecutive start and finished with three strikeouts during his longest outing of the spring. But it represented the latest poor outing for the young right-hander, who has allowed 36 hits and 23 earned runs in 11 2/3 innings this spring.
"My stat lines this spring haven’t been good in any way, but at the end of the day you can’t look at that," Lyles told MLB.com. "Personally, I would like to be better, but I’m working on things and I’m going to try to be ready for April and not this month. I’m looking forward to the season. This is the best I felt in spring training and the numbers aren’t there for me right now. I’m not overly worried about that."
