MLB Note - San Diego Padres Lyles, Jordan

Sep 23, 2017 - 8:31 AM RHP Jordan Lyles took the loss against Colorado Friday night, giving up four runs on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in six innings plus two hitters. Lyles gave up all three Rockies' homers. But it was a major improvement over Lyles' last outing six days ago at Coors Field against the same Rockies when he gave up seven runs on eight hits and three walks over a span of four innings in his third start as a Padre. Friday night, Lyles retired the first 12 Rockies he faced, striking out five of his former teammates. "That was a big step in the right direction for Jordan," said manager Andy Green of Lyles' longest outing of the season. "We saw a little more momentum." Lyles said: "I felt pretty good. I had more feel, more velocity."
