Padres' Jarred Cosart: Struggles in loss Sunday

Cosart (0-2) allowed six hits, three walks and three runs over four innings Sunday, striking out five in a 3-1 loss to the Rockies.

The 27-year-old limited the hard contact against a powerful Rockies lineup, but a parade of singles and walks ended his day before the fifth inning for the third consecutive start. Cosart's terrible control (0.8 K/BB) and inability to go deep into games has made him tough to tolerate even as a deep-league option. The righty draws a favorable matchup at home against the Royals next Saturday, but it would be tough to recommend him as a safe option.
