AI Summary
Jacob Lopez pitched poorly against the Cardinals, allowing three runs in five-plus innings with a 5.80 ERA and concerning strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Lopez have up homers to Victor Scott II in the fifth and Jordan Walker in the sixth before departing. He walked three and struck out just two, with only four of the 42 swings against him producing whiffs. His ERA sits at 5.80, and even worse is his 30/27 K/BB in 40 1/3 innings. The A's probably aren't going to turn to Gage Jump just yet, but it'd seem to be time to try someone else in Lopez's spot.
