From Rotoworld: Chatwood allowed four earned runs, three hits and eight walks in Saturday’s loss against the Dodgers. Two of the walks Chatwood issued were with the bases loaded, and he managed to throw just 41 of his 88 pitches for strikes in the awful appearance. The Rockies are now 1-7 over his past eight outings against the Dodgers. He’ll look to get back on track July 1 in Arizona, but he faces another difficult assignment opposite Zack Greinke.
Greinke pitched five innings of one-run ball to beat the Phillies on Monday. Greinke wasn’t at his best in this one, but he had the right opponent; the Phillies started just one guy (Aaron Altherr) with an .800 OPS or 10 homers. Greinke struck out five and walked three while throwing 102 pitches to get his 15 outs. He’s now 9-4 with a 3.08 ERA.
