Lance Lynn’s struggles continued after giving up three home runs and being charged with two more runs after departing in the Dodgers’ 11-4 loss to the Marlins.Lynn, acquired at the trade deadline, has given up eight homers and 15 runs in nine innings over his last two starts. The Dodgers won each of his first five starts with them, but has alarmingly regressed.
He’s scheduled to start Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres and likely would make three more regular-season starts beyond that. He’s pitched 160 innings this season, meaning he gives up an average of one home run every four innings. Assuming he averages six innings in each of his last four starts and gives up home runs at the same rate, he’d surrender another six homers over 24 innings.“Once you go over 30, who gives a s—?” he deadpanned after getting torched in Miami.
