Winckowski (3-5) got the loss after he tossed three innings, surrendering five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out one against the Guardians.
Winckowski made his return from the COVID-19-related injured list and didn't have his best stuff. He gave up one run in the first inning before giving up a solo homer to Austin Hedges in the second frame and a three-run shot to Nolan Jones in the third. The right-hander has now surrendered five home runs over his last three starts after only allowing one in his previous five outings. He entered July with a 3.60 ERA but that has now ballooned all the way up to 5.18. Winckowski is tentatively set to toe the rubber again Sunday against the Brewers.
