Luis Mendoza allowed just two runs on eight hits over six innings in his start Sunday against the Athletics.

Mendoza earned his first win earlier this week, and has put together three straight quality starts. He would have been in line for his second win, but the Royals' bullpen gave up a home run to Yoenis Cespedes in the eighth inning that cost him the game. Mendoza has a 5.50 ERA in seven appearances (six starts) this season.

Luis Mendoza gave up five runs -- three earned -- over six innings in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles.

Mendoza wasn't helped by his defense in the fifth, as the Orioles plated three runs with the help of two Alcides Escobar errors. However, he also walked three, struck out just two and served up a home run. Now with a 6.38 ERA and 1.46 WHIP, Mendoza needs to improve in a hurry to avoid being booted from the rotation. He's scheduled to face the Angels next.

Luis Mendoza allowed six runs in four innings but took a no-decision as the Royals defeated the Rays on Wednesday.

Mendoza struggled out of the gate, giving up two solo home runs in the opening frame and allowing runs in each of the first four innings. The right-hander now owns a 7.00 ERA and can be ignored in basically all fantasy formats. He'll next face the Orioles on Tuesday.

Luis Mendoza was smoked for eight runs (seven earned) in 5 2/3 innings Friday in a loss to the Blue Jays.

If you took a chance on Mendoza after he struck out seven batters over six innings of one-run ball last week against the Phillies, chances are you were pretty disappointed by this one. The 29-year-old gave up seven hits and three walks in the loss and is strictly an AL-only option. The Royals have two off-days next week, so they plan to skip Mendoza in the rotation.

Luis Mendoza limited the Phillies to just one run on two hits but the Royals lost to the Phillies on Saturday.

Mendoza won the final spot in the Royals rotation this spring and seemed to prove the Royals made the right choice with his outing Saturday. The 29-year old walked three batters and struck out seven in his six innings. He may have a tougher go in his next start Friday against the Blue Jays.

Luis Mendoza allowed six runs -- four earned -- on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings in the Royals loss to the Brewers.

The outing raised Mendoza's spring ERA to a still-pristine 2.70, so it was just a small bump in the road for the 29-year-old. Mendoza was recently assured of the fifth spot in the Royals rotation. He's not someone to get too excited about, but he offers some upside late in AL-only leagues.
