Josh Tomlin came into Tuesday’s game looking for his first win of the year. After three and two-thirds innings, he’s still searching.

Tomlin gave up five runs on seven hits while striking out three.  The four home runs allowed matched a career-high, and he has now given up an MLB-high eight homers this season.

After the game, Tomlin said that opposing teams are finding ways to quickly capitalize on his lack of execution.

“I’m making too many of those mistakes throughout the course of the game right now,” he said. “And even when I do make a good pitch, it’s a foul ball or they get the barrel to it and find the hole. It’s one of those things where I’ve got to make an adjustment quicker than what I’m making, or change what I’m doing out there in the moment and try something different at that time.

“Definitely what I’m doing out there right now is not working, so something needs to be addressed.”
