Ariel Jurado has shown signs at times this season, but when his command isn’t there, things like tonight happen. 8 runs on 11 hits in 3.2 IP, albeit with no help from Adrian Sampson, who came on in relief and pour gas on the fire. 5.31 ERA now on the season, as he continues to teeter behind #5 starter and up-and-down guy projection.
Adrian Sampson was brutal. Maybe it was being asked to pitch out of the pen on one day’s rest after starting most of the season, but he allowed 5 runs while retiring just one batter.
