Wellemeyer Cruises Against Phillies - No Deciscion
Todd Wellemeyer pitched six innings of one-run ball Sunday in a no-decision against the Phillies. Wellemeyer began July with four straight shaky outings after overcoming his June elbow woes, but he’s bounced back with three sould starts in a row. Unfortunately, the 2.65 ERA in those games hasn’t resulted in any victories. He remains 8-4 with a 4.01 ERA for the season. The Phillies got only three runners in scoring position against Wellemeyer, who allowed one run on four hits in six-plus innings. Wellemeyer took the brunt of a 20-2 pasting by the Phillies at home on June 13, surrendering eight runs in 3 1/3 innings. The only run scored Sunday was on a Chase Utley homer. He left with a 2-1 lead, but the bullpen would later surrender the lead. Wellemeyer walked one and struck out three. Wellemeyer has started to look like the guy that was named NL Pitcher of the Month in May in his last three starts. He has allowed no more than two runs in each outing and has lasted at least five innings. (Rotoworld, CBS Sports)
