Ellis pitched effectively by allowing just 3 over 7 innings, but picked up his second loss of the season. If you talk to him, he might be most upset about the 0-2 day at the plate that lowered his line to .294/.294/.412. The first run Ellis surrendered was the manufactured type -- he allowed a double, a sacrifice bunt, and a sacrifice fly to score that first run. Fast-forward to the sixth and Ellis allowed a pair of singles before a triple scored the remaining 2 runs allowed. He pitched one more inning and got through the order 1-2-3.
