"He wasn't efficient. He was good, but not efficient. He was on-and-off as far as command."
"The second inning was the difference between Early pitching deeper into the game and getting pulled after recording an out in the fifth."
Connelly Early has faced challenges in his early 2026 starts, allowing 13 hits and eight walks without a victory. Despite this, he has only given up four earned runs and has not lost a game. His recent performance against the Cardinals mirrored his previous outings, with high pitch counts and early exits due to command issues. Manager Alex Cora noted Early's inconsistent mechanics, which contributed to his inefficiency on the mound, particularly in critical innings where he faced heavy traffic but limited damage.
