Struggles in loss
McGreevy (3-3) allowed three runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out one over five-plus innings to take the loss versus the Pirates on Wednesday.
Analysis
McGreevy loaded the bases in the sixth inning, and one run came around to score after he exited. This was the first time in a month he allowed multiple runs. The 10 hits allowed were a season high, while the one strikeout established a new low mark for the year. Overall, it's just a bump in the road for a pitcher who has managed mostly positive performances so far, though he has gotten by with a lot of luck thanks to a .230 BABIP. He's added a 2.40 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB through 56.1 innings over 10 starts. McGreevy will look to get back on track in a tough road matchup versus the Brewers early next week.

Keeps rolling vs. Athletics
McGreevy did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Athletics, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings.
Analysis
McGreevy served up a leadoff homer to Nick Kurtz along with two additional hits in the first inning, but he settled in afterward and limited the Athletics to just two hits over the final five innings of his outing. The right-hander has now turned in four straight starts of at least six innings while allowing one run or fewer. However, he continues to rely heavily on his defense and allow a concerning amount of hard contact, as six balls against him Thursday were hit over 100 mph, though only one resulted in a hit. That trend aligns with the sizable gap between his excellent surface stats and far shakier predictive metrics. McGreevy owns a 2.10 ERA and 0.88 WHIP across 51.1 innings this season but carries a lofty 5.05 xERA. He's scheduled to face Pittsburgh next, a lineup that has swung the bat well in May.
