Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles allowed four runs on seven hits over six innings of work during Monday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.
Lyles struck out three batters and walked two during the outing. His troubles began in the first inning when he surrendered one run on two hits. He was able to settle down before running into trouble in the sixth inning. During the inning, Lyles gave up three hits, which led to three runs. He took the loss for his effort.
"They put together some at-bats on him -- found the barrel -- but I felt like he was still throwing the ball pretty well," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said, per MLB.com. "He just got some pitches elevated."
Lyles has given up at least four runs in each of his last three starts. He is now 2-4 with a 4.53 ERA. His next expected start is scheduled for Saturday against the Giants.
