After a solid outing in Colorado last night, San Diego Padres LHP Robbie Erlin deserves to be in the starting pitching conversation for 2019 and beyond.
After re-earning his spot in the rotation last month, Erlin has put in some incredible pitching performances. He owns a 3.43 ERA over his four starts this month. He hasn’t walked or struck out many hitters, but he has kept the ball in the strike zone, especially Tuesday night in Colorado.
At only 60 pitches, I wished that Andy Green had kept Erlin in the game for at least another inning.
