Kevin Ginkel News: Lit up in loss

Ginkel (0-3) allowed five runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning, taking the loss Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

Ginkel entered after seven strong innings from Corbin Burnes, and Ginkel simply didn't have it. This was the second time this season he's given up five runs in an appearance. The right-hander, who was on the injured list for the first month, initially had issues coming off the IL but appeared to have righted himself. Ginkel threw five consecutive scoreless outings before picking up losses in his last two appearances. He has a 12.60 ERA and 2.10 WHIP over 10 innings this season.
