Rockies pitcher Drew Pomeranz endured a rough outing in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Mariners. Pomeranz, who made his fourth appearance of the spring, fared well early, but ran into trouble in the fifth inning when he allowed five runs, including a solo home run by Kendrys Morales. He gave up four runs on nine hits in five innings. He also struck out five and issued a walk. His ERA increased to 5.54 this spring.
"I really threw my fastball well today, but I don’t think my off-speed location was there today," Pomeranz told the Denver Post. "I made a bad pitch to Morales (an inside fastball). Actually, it was a good pitch, just the wrong time to throw that pitch."
