Kuhl (1-4) allowed six runs on 10 hits and one walk across four innings in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl Was ineffective for the second consecutive outing, allowing runs in four separate innings and receiving his marching order after putting the first two men he faced in the fifth inning on base -- both of whom came around to score after he was removed. After three solid outings to begin the season the right-hander has allowed a whopping 21 runs in his last 17.2 innings to send his ERA skyrocketing to 6.69. It is unclear how long the Pirates are willing to tolerate Kuhl's poor results, but he is currently scheduled to start Sunday against the Phillies.
