Iwakuma gave up seven earned runs on six hits and two walks over 2.2 innings in Monday's 24-3 Cactus League loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Staked to 1-0 lead entering the bottom of the first, Iwakuma ran into trouble early, giving up an infield single to Keon Broxton and walk to Jesus Aguilar before a Kirk Nieuwenhuis double to deep center plated the first two runs of the game for Milwaukee. The second inning proved to be even worse, with the veteran right-hander surrendering back-to-back home runs to Broxton and Travis Shaw. Iwakuma was pulled after yielding a two-out RBI single to Orlando Arcia in the third and was charged with an additional run when Manny Pina's double off reliever Evan Scribner drove in Arcia. The outing officially marked the third time in his career that Iwakuma has given up seven earned runs in an appearance, although the other two occasions came in regular season action. The 35-year-old had surrendered just one run over four innings in his first two spring appearances coming into Monday, so the disastrous outing left the veteran reeling. "Overall, my timing, my balance...," he said. "I couldn't get my lower body to sync to my upper body. I couldn't the feel for anything. Nothing was working. I have nothing to say today that went well."
