Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles wasn't a factor in the decision Monday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings and striking out four in his team's 4-3 loss to the Padres.
Lyles fell behind by allowing a solo home run in the fourth inning, but his offense was able to deliver a three-run shot of its own in the top of the sixth. The starter was then pulled after giving up a one-out single in the bottom of the sixth, and the bullpen allowed that runner to score but otherwise kept the Padres at bay in the inning. That wasn't the case in the later innings, as the bullpen surrendered the lead in the seventh. Lyles owns a 3.70 ERA and 58:30 K:BB ratio in 80 1/3 innings. He's scheduled to face the Reds Saturday.
