Reds' Andrew Abbott: Coughs up six runs

Abbott (4-1) allowed six runs on nine hits and a walk over 4.1 innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against Milwaukee.

The Brewers jumped on Abbott for four runs in the first two innings. It was the first major hiccup by the rookie after he had allowed one run or fewer in five of his first six career starts. After a 17.2-inning scoreless streak to open his career, Abbott has given up 11 runs over his last four outings. He still owns an impressive 2.38 ERA with a 48:14 K:BB across 41.2 frames.
