Spencer Schwellenbach allowed six runs — three earned — over five innings in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Schwellenbach was hurt by his defense, but also hurt by the long ball as he gave up two homers in the contest. The Blue Jays were aggressive against the 24-year-old as he didn’t walk anyone, threw 56-of-72 pitches for strikes and struck out just three times. It’s a disappointing outing considering how the Blue Jays have pitched and his solid outing against the Phillies on Sunday, but it could have been worse. He’d be more risk than reward as a streamer next weekend against the Dodgers.
