Unfortunately, Reynaldo Lopez began his second half with a regression to his peripherals.
Lopez entered today with a 3.91 ERA, but a 4.63 FIP and 5.46 xFIP. With those numbers, Lopez’s ERA was bound to increase. And that it did on Sunday afternoon.
After getting the first batter of the game to line out, Lopez allowed the next four to reach — two coming via the base-on-balls. The big blow of the inning came on a Ryon Healy three-run home run that was obliterated over the left field wall.
