C.J. Wilson was smoked on Tuesday, surrendering six runs -- three earned -- on nine hits over five innings of work against the A's.
Wilson punched out four and walked five in the game. Mixed league owners shouldn't panic -- especially if their trade deadlines have passed -- but Wilson's recent performance should give pause. Since July 18, he has allowed 27 runs -- 24 earned -- in five starts covering 29 2/3 innings. During that span, his ERA has ballooned from 2.43 to 3.34.

C.J. Wilson was blasted by his former squad on Thursday, surrendering eight runs on 10 hits over 5 1/3 innings of work against the Rangers.
Wilson punched out seven and walked three in the game. Ian Kinsler started the madness with a solo shot leading off the first inning. Kinsler then delivered one of three Rangers RBI singles in the second inning, pushing five more runs across. After the Angels offense battled back to take a 7-6 lead, Wilson allowed a solo homer to Nelson Cruz in the fourth inning, and an RBI double to Elvis Andrus in the sixth before being removed. Still, he's having a very nice season and will take a 9-7 record, 3.27 ERA and 122/63 K/BB ratio into Tuesday's start against the Athletics in Oakland.

He'll look to continue that dominance when he battles against the Tigers in Detroit on Wednesday.
