Rockies starter Jordan Lyles continued Thursday to be one of the pleasant surprises of 2015, but blew a chance to maintain a pattern he established in his first three starts.
Lyles gave up five hits in six innings in each of his first three outings. He yielded six hits in six innings against the Padres.
No matter. He still won to raise his record to 2-1. Lyles surrendered just one run with two walks and four strikeouts. Only a Yonder Alonso RBI single in the fourth provided a blemish.
Lyles will take his 2.92 ERA into his next start against Arizona on Tuesday.
