Aaron Ashby was knocked around in his Cactus League debut against the Rockies on Sunday, surrendering four runs on three hits in just 2/3 of an inning.
Oof. Ashby also issued a pair of free passes while striking out one batter on the afternoon. Brenton Doyle started the game with a leadoff single against him, then after punching out Ryan McMahon, Ashby issued back-to-back one-out walks to Ezequiel Tovar and Kris Bryant. Thairo Estrada drove in two runs with a single to left field, then after Kyle Farmer lined out Jacob Stallings added a two-run double that chased Ashby from the game. The good news, is that he made it through the outing without any injury issues, but he’ll have to be much better than this if he’s going to challenge for a spot in the Brewers’ rotation.
