Jerad Eickhoff was not much of a backup plan
Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images Plenty of home runs given up by Jerad Eickhoff in 201958.1 IP, 3-4 W-L, 5.71 ERA, 20.8 K%, 7.4 BB%, 2.78 HR/9, -0.4 fWAR
The good:
His first four starts after being moved into the rotation were excellent. His eight-inning shutout performance against the Cardinals gave us hope that Eickhoff had finally put his years-long injury problems behind him.
The bad:
Everything that came after those first four starts. Over his next eight outings, his ERA rose from 1.50 to 5.71, bottoming out with two horrid starts in June.
