4 years agoCincinnati Reds right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez struggled in a 7-5 loss to the San Diego Padres on Saturday. Gutierrez allowed five runs over five innings of work while striking out four and walking four. The rookie hurler cruised through the first two scoreless innings before allowing a two-run homer in the third and another three runs in the fourth inning. Despite the rough outing, Gutierrez has been solid for the Reds through his first five starts, posting a 3-1 record, 3.86 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts in 28 innings of work. Gutierrez will draw a tough matchup against the Atlanta Braves next time out.--Matt T - RotoBaller
