Jeremy Guthrie's string of quality starts ended in a big way Wednesday.
He didn't get to the sixth for the first time this year, getting pulled in the fifth inning with two outs. He gave up seven runs (six earned) after allowing just 10 total in his first four starts.
Guthrie allowed only eight base runners, but seven scored (one after he left). He now has dropped to 0-3 and picked up his 20th loss since last season began.
In his first two losses of the season, he pitched well enough to win. Not on Wednesday, not when he gave up two runs in the first; his first first-inning runs of the season.
