From Rotoworld: Koehler allowed four earned runs over five innings Monday in a no-decision versus the Phillies. Philly pounced for all four of those runs in the top of the third, on two walks, two doubles, and a single. Miami wound up winning the game in extras, though that’s not much of a consolation for Koehler and his 7.92 season ERA. He has surrendered 22 earned runs over his last 14 2/3 frames.
Romano allowed six runs over four innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Everybody loved Romano’s part in Tuesday’s Ray Barone-themed pitching matchup, but the Reds certainly didn’t love the 23-year-old’s performance on the field quite as much. Romano, making his third major league start, walked five and allowed six hits before exiting. He now owns a 7.50 ERA and 2.08 WHIP through those three starts. With the Reds going nowhere fast and Scott Feldman out, Romano may get another turn to prove he’s more than just a punchline. That shot should come Sunday against the Marlins.
