Worley allowed five runs on six hits and three walks across 3.2 innings in a no-decision Sunday against the D-backs. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Worley threw 67 percent of his pitches for strikes in this one, but location seemed to be a challenge as he set a new season high in walks while allowing four extra-base hits in his short time on the mound. Luckily, the bullpen pitched 5.1 scoreless innings after his removal and the offense came to life, propelling the club to victory. Worley hadn't been convincing prior to this start and now carries an unsightly 6.59 ERA to go along with a 9:4 K:BB through 12.2 innings this season. He is currently scheduled to start Friday against the Pirates and will need to deliver a more encouraging result if he is to maintain his current role.
