Kyle Lohse entered this season with a lot of hope. With Yovani Gallardo traded, Lohse began the year as the team’s opening day starter. But after a very successful spring, Lohse struggled to get going and eventually lost his job as a starter. After a dreadful season, here is a look at Lohse’s year in review.
Lohse’s nightmare began on opening day, when he allowed eight earned runs to the Colorado Rockies in 3.1 innings of work. As the year progressed, it seemed like the only thing that you could guarantee in a Lohse start was that the opposition was going to hit a home run.
