Bradley Blalock was hit hard in Saturday evening’s loss to the Padres, surrendering five runs on five hits in just three innings of work.

Blalock also issued a pair of walks in the contest and didn’t record a single strikeout. The 24-year-old hurler was pressed into action after Chase Dollander (knee) landed on the injured list and his return to the Rockies’ rotation did not go well. He served up three home runs in the contest — a two-run blast to Fernando Tatis Jr. in the second inning and a pair of solo shots to Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill in the third. He’ll carry a horrifying 9.00 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and a 22/20 K/BB ratio (50 innings) into Friday’s battle against the Angels.
