Zach Neal gets rocked in debut for Athletics

Oakland Athletics pitcher Zach Neal was pounded for seven runs in four innings by the Mariners on Wednesday in his first major league start.

What It Means:

Neal is a solid Triple-A pitcher, but that's probably all he is right now. He's likely going to be sent back to Nashville in the immediate future.

The 27-year-old recorded a 2.53 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 21 punch outs and four walks in 42 2/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level.
