Three takeaways from LSU baseball's loss to Kentucky

LSU baseball entered the first game of the Kentucky series with a 17-9 record and 2-4 mark in conference play. The Tigers dropped their first two SEC series of the year, losing to Vanderbilt and Oklahoma. The struggles continued on Friday night with Kentucky handing LSU a 7-4 loss in Baton Rouge.

Casan Evans got the start on the mound for LSU, but his start did not go well. He walked six hitters, leading to four runs for Kentucky. That's not what LSU wanted to see after Evans tossed 7.

2 innings last week. At the top of the order, Steven Milam and Jake Brown went without a hit. Here are three takeaways from the loss.

Too many walks In six innings of work, Casan Evans walked six hitters, hit two batters, and had one wild pitch while only striking out three batters. That will not get the job done against most opponents. Evans gave up four runs, and that was all Kentucky needed to win.
