Hoffman (0-3) was beaten up for seven runs -- none of them earned -- on six hits and two walks in just 2.2 innings Thursday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Yes, Hoffman got away with all seven of his runs -- which all scored in the third inning -- being unearned, and yet his ERA Is still an awful 5.60, which should tell you just how bad he's been over the course of his first four MLB starts. He has more walks (10) than strikeouts (eight) and has given up 20 runs (but just 11 earned, if that qualifies as a silver lining) in 17.2 innings. Leaving Coors Field for his next start won't help him, as it'll come in the similarly hitter-friendly Chase Field against the Diamondbacks.
