Payamps allowed a run on two hits and a walk with one strikeout across 2.2 innings during Wednesday's 10-0 loss to the Cardinals.
Starter Kris Bubic recorded just one out in the first inning, leading to an early call to the bullpen. Payamps didn't have much luck either, allowing an RBI triple to Tyler O'Neill and a sacrifice fly to Harrison Bader, though only one run was charged to the reliever. Payamps has a 2.08 ERA despite a 1.50 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB through 8.2 innings. The right-hander often works in low-leverage assignments, and he won't see a more significant role as long as he's yielding so many baserunners.
