Dylan Cease allowed six runs in six innings while being charged with a loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
With the lose, Cease is now 3-9 on the season, and while he has not been immune to a hard-luck loss or two, it’s fair to say he’s earned that record. He allowed three homers in this one, with the biggest blow being a grand slam from Geraldo Perdomo. The 29-year-old did strike out eight, but it’s hard to call this anything more than another disappointing outing for the right-hander. His track record suggests he’ll be a better option after the break.
