Rusin (1-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks over the course of seven innings against the Padres on Friday, but he was credited with the loss. He struck out three.
Rusin threw 55 of his 90 pitches for strikes, but a three-run homer allowed to Matt Kemp proved to be too much for the Colorado offense to overcome against Drew Pomeranz on Friday night. The 29-year-old lefty has allowed 10 runs in his last two starts, and he will look to bounce back in his next outing against the Dodgers on the road Wednesday.
