Adleman (1-1) allowed three runs on eight hits while striking out three and walking two in his first MLB loss to the Phillies on Saturday.
The 28-year-old rookie looked a little more human in this outing than in his first two MLB starts. He allowed an RBI double in the fourth to Ryan Howard and back-to-back singles in the fifth that scored two more. Even still, he threw 47 of his 67 pitches for strikes and his ERA through 16 innings is just 3.38. Adleman also has a 1.38 WHIP, .259 batting average against and 7.3 K/9 rate through three MLB outings. His next start will be Friday against the Mariners.
