Gregerson allowed six runs on five hits and one walk over a third of an inning and rightly picked up the loss in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Gregerson, a usually reliable setup man, hadn't pitch the previous night, so there were no qualms giving him the ball. Starter Dallas Keuchel had just submitted a sterling performance, leaving the game after seven innings with a 2-1 lead, but Gregerson didn't fool anyone in what was a career-worst outing -- only once in his previous 561 regular-season relief appearances had he allowed even four runs. The right-hander gave up two home runs and the only out recorded was a sacrifice bunt. There's not much he can do but put it in the rear-view mirror and move on.
