Colin Rea - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Trampled by Giants Rea (10-6) took the loss against San Francisco on Wednesday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings.

Impact Rea fell behind quickly; Rafael Devers knocked his seventh pitch of the game over the outfield wall for a solo homer. Rea managed to get through a scoreless second frame, but things unraveled for him in the third, when the Giants got to him for three runs despite managing just two hits. The right-hander gave up three more runs (two of which were earned) in the fifth and was pulled before he could finish the frame. The poor outing snapped a string of four straight starts in which Rea had surrendered two or fewer earned runs. He's been middling overall this year with a 4.23 ERA through 132 innings, but he's been prone to blow-ups, giving up five or more earned runs in an appearance on five different occasions.

Struggles with control in 10th win Rea (10-5) earned the win Wednesday against the Brewers, allowing two runs on three hits and five walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Rea gave the Cubs at least five innings while conceding a lone run in his third straight start, although he issued a season-high five walks. Only 53 of the right-hander's 96 pitches landed for strikes, though he did manage to keep the ball in the yard for a fifth consecutive outing to limit the damage. Rea will bring a quality 3.96 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 93:38 K:BB across 127.1 frames into his next scheduled appearance, which is set to come next week in San Francisco.

Solid in no-decision Rea did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Impact Rea allowed one run in the fourth inning but was otherwise sharp, generating 13 whiffs on 87 pitches and limiting the Pirates to one extra-base hit. The 35-year-old has surrendered just four runs over three August starts, though he's failed to complete more than five frames in five of six outings since the All-Star break. He'll take a 3.99 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 90:33 K:BB across 121.2 innings into a home matchup with the Brewers next week.

Sharp in ninth win Rea (9-5) allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

Impact Rea's shutout bid was broken up when Alec Burleson plated a run on a groundout in the sixth inning. This was Rea's first quality start in his last five outings -- he last reached the six-inning mark when he pitched seven frames of one-run ball July 10 versus the Twins. The right-hander is now at a 4.09 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 85:31 K:BB through 116.2 innings over 24 appearances (20 starts). Rea is tentatively projected to make his next start at Toronto. With the Cubs facing a stretch of 14 games in 13 days starting Tuesday in Toronto, he should be good to stick in the rotation for a bit longer even if Jameson Taillon (calf) and Javier Assad (oblique) are ready to return around the middle of the month.

Concedes two runs in no-decision Rea did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Orioles. He allowed two runs on five hits and one walk over 4.2 innings with four strikeouts.

Impact The veteran right-hander permitted just one extra-base hit -- an Adley Rutschman two-bagger in the fourth -- as he produced 52 strikes out of his 77 total pitches. This outing was a welcome sight for Rea after he struggled in his two prior starts, coughing up 10 runs (nine earned) in nine innings. The 34-year-old now sports a 4.23 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 79:29 K:BB across 110.2 total frames while yielding 19 long balls. Rea is currently scheduled to make his next start in the Cubs' upcoming weekend series at the divisional-rival Cardinals.

Takes second straight loss Rea (8-5) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk over four-plus innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against Milwaukee.

Impact Rea escaped some early trouble with just two runs allowed through four inefficient innings. He was then charged with two more runs in the fifth inning despite not recording an out in the frame. Rea looked impressive during a four-start winning streak but has since been tagged with 10 runs (nine earned) over nine innings in his last two outings. The veteran righty now owns a 4.25 ERA with a 75:28 K:BB through 106 frames this season. Rea will look to turn things around in his next outing, which is currently slated to be at home against the Reds next week.

Impact The veteran righty got taken deep by Vinnie Pasquantino twice and Salvador Perez once, marking the third time in his last 10 outings that Rea has served up at least three homers. He's coughed up 14 long balls in total over that span, posting a 4.72 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB in 55.1 innings. With the Cubs potentially looking to add reinforcements for their rotation at the trade deadline, Rea could conceivably lost his spot, but he currently lines up to make his next start on the road early next week in Milwaukee.
