Travis Wood allowed three earned runs over seven innings Sunday as the Cubs fell to the Brewers.

Wood was only decent, which was a disappointment considering how well he has pitched this season and how poor the Mets' lineup is. Wood gave up five hits and two walks, watching his ERA rise from 2.03 to 2.24 and his WHIP from 0.92 to 0.93. He'll try for better next time out against the Reds.

Yet another fine outing for the 26-year-old lefty, who now owns a 2.33 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 34 strikeouts in 46 1/3 innings this season. Wood fanned eight Cardinals batters, allowing only five hits and two walks. The only real damage came on a solo blast from Allen Craig in the top of the second inning.

Wood gave up two home runs -- including a first-inning bomb by Giancarlo Stanton -- but was otherwise solid. He yielded only three hits in all, striking out five batters against one walk. The 26-year-old left-hander has been a nice surprise in a disappointing start to the 2013 season for Chicago.

Wood didn't deserve his fate on Tuesday, as his lineup was shut down by opposing starter Derek Holland. The lefty now has a 1.83 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through three starts and is garnering attention in mixed leagues. His next start, Sunday against a struggling Brewers lineup, could also offer a nice return.

Travis Wood allowed three runs -- two earned -- in 6 1/3 innings in the Cubs' win over the Brewers on Tuesday.

That's two straight quality starts for the 26-year-old. His second start wasn't as good as his first, but he was still good enough to deserve a better fate. The lefty now has a 1.46 ERA and 1.05 WHIP on the season. His mediocre strikeout numbers and, most likely, modest win total still relegates him to an NL-only option at this point. His next start will come against the Giants on Sunday.

Wood surrendered two home runs, including a two-run shot off the bat of Justin Upton. The non-quality outing was his third straight, and leaves him with a 6-13 through 25 starts.

With the wind blowing out to right at Wrigley, Wood gave up one homer in each inning he pitched today. He's lost three starts in a row, giving up nine homers and 22 earned runs in the process.
