Jackson Kowar Struggles Out Of The Pen On Saturday
3 years agoKansas City Royals pitcher Jackson Kowar made his first career relief appearance in Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It didn't go well as he pitched three innings and allowed three hits and two earned runs while recording only one strikeout. Kowar is one of the team's top pitching prospects. He was called up to make his MLB debut on June 7. He made two starts in which he pitched a combined two innings and gave up a total of eight earned runs. He'll certainly be getting another shot in the rotation at some point either later this year or next year, but a demotion back to Triple-A might be coming first as he clearly has a lot to work on.
