38 Kyle Kendrick, SP

Phillies starting pitcher Kyle Kendrick failed to throw a quality start for the first time Saturday since his first start of the season, losing 10-0 to the Reds.

Kendrick pitched six innings for the eighth start in a row, but allowed four runs on eight hits and four walks. He also struck out two, his first start of the season with more walks than strikeouts. He allowed a three-run home run in the second inning, but then settled down.

Kendrick is 4-2 with a 2.82 ERA. His next start is scheduled for Friday against the Nationals.
