Landen Roupp Struggles in 4.1 Innings During Loss to Cubs

Landen Roupp was charged with four earned runs in 4 1/3 innings during a 5-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs, raising his ERA to 4.24. Although Roupp struck out the first four batters he faced, lengthy at-bats drove his pitch count to 105. He departed in the fifth with two runners in scoring position and two outs, both of whom scored. Over his last eight starts, Roupp has failed to record 15 outs four times as deep counts continue to limit his ability to pitch deeper into games.
