Danks pitched just 4.2 innings, allowing nine runs on eight hits (including four home runs) and five walks while striking out five batters in picking up his seventh loss (9-7) of the year in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers. Danks has been mired in a terrible slump of late. He has allowed 24 runs in his last four starts (spanning 23 innings) and has seen his ERA jump from 3.99 to 4.93 in the process. Couple that with an ugly 1.47 WHIP and 99:55 K:BB ratio and Danks is hard pitcher to trust these days. He will look to turn it around in his next start, which is set for Sunday on the road against the Mariners.
