Pomeranz’s only loss came in his only road start of the season, a 2-0 defeat in Baltimore on April 21. He’s struggled to keep his pitch count down, one reason he hasn’t thrown more than six innings in a game this year.
Peralta was denied in his bid to be the first National Leaguer to log his fifth victory, but that was more about the Cardinals’ Carlos Martinez than about Peralta himself. When Peralta exited in the sixth inning, St. Louis had yet to score a run.
