Stephenson fell to 0-2 on the season after allowing four runs on nine hits and three walks in five innings Wednesday against the Brewers, striking out four.
It certainly wasn't a good game for Stephenson, but by some measures it was his best of the season, as he lasted just four and 1.2 innings in his first two starts for the big-league team. Wednesday's start also marked the first time he struck out more batters than he walked this year. Still, it's hard to feel positive about an outing in which the 25-year-old had a WHIP of 2.40. Assuming he's still in the rotation, his next chance to impress will come next Wednesday against the Brewers.
