Lead or no lead, he was going to get his head handed to him today. If he doesn't find at least a show-me breaking ball in his next start, he'll get hit around again.
This isn't one of those Kip Wells/Brett Tomko things where he lets down after he gets a lead, he's just way out of sorts right now.

I know it's nigh impossible to get by on a single pitch when it's not outstanding. What's frustrating to me is the aspect of letting down your teammates like that.
