Pomeranz (1-1) got the short end of the stick in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Phillies. The lefty went six innings, allowing two runs on three hits and tied his career best with eight strikeouts.
Pomeranz got unlucky as his counterpart, Vince Velasquez, struck out 16 in a dominant three-hit shutout. The 5th-overall pick in 2010 now has 15 strikeouts through his first 11 innings of 2016. Pomeranz has always shown the ability to miss bats and rack up K's, but the Padres anemic offense will limit the amount of games he'll win this season.
