Felix Doubront was blasted for seven runs (six earned) over four innings in a loss to the Yankees on Friday.
Doubront allowed eight hits, including a two-run homer by Mark Reynolds and a three-run shot by Alfonso Soriano. It was his most runs allowed in a start since May 8. The southpaw will attempt to bounce back next week when he takes on the Giants in San Francisco.

Felix Doubront spun seven shutout innings in Sunday's victory against the Diamondbacks.
He struck out five, walked none and scattered five hits. Because of his stuff, Doubront has the ability to toss a gem every time he takes the mound. Since mid-June, he's allowed only 13 runs over nine starts. Consistency -- and elevated pitch counts -- have both been problems, but the left-hander nevertheless stands 8-5 with a solid 3.56 ERA and 1.37 WHIP.

Felix Doubront allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings against the Rays on Wednesday.
Doubront wasn't bad, as he gave up six hits and two walks while striking out five in the outing, but he was still saddled with his fourth loss. The lefty has been on a serious roll since mid-June, posting six quality starts and a 3-1 record over those seven starts. He'll take on the Mariners his next time out.

Felix Doubront won his third consecutive start on Friday, surrendering just two runs (one earned) on three hits over his 6 1/3 innings.
Doubront fanned five and issued three free passes on the night. After manufacturing an unearned run in the fourth inning, Chris Stewart's RBI double in the fifth was the extent of the damage against him. He's been brilliant in 12 starts since returning to the rotation on May 16, compiling a 2.59 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 63/30 K/BB ratio in 73 innings. He'll look to extend his winning streak on Wednesday against the Rays.

Felix Doubront allowed two runs in 6 1/3 innings of a no-decision against the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Doubront wasn't overly sharp, as he allowed five hits and three walks while striking out six. The start in a lot of ways mirrored Doubront's season, as the southpaw has a 4.22 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 82 strikeouts in 85 1/3 innings. He'll start again Friday against the Angels in Anaheim.

Felix Doubront permitted three runs -- two earned -- on four hits and four walks over five innings in a loss to the Tigers.
Doubront has worked on tweaking his mechanics in hopes that he'll have better control and be more efficient, but it didn't work in this one. Though he's pitched much better of late, the lefty still has a 4.33 ERA and 1.49 WHIP this season. He shouldn't be trusted against the red-hot Blue Jays at Fenway next weekend.

Felix Doubront fired eight scoreless innings, guiding the Red Sox to a 3-1 defeat of the Rays in the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox won the first game on Tuesday afternoon by a score of 5-1 and are now 2 1/2 games up in the American League East standings. Doubront was brilliant, needing only 93 pitches to work through his eight frames. He struck out six, issued no walks and gave up just three hits. The left-hander will take a 4.38 ERA into his next start in Detroit. We wouldn't expect a similar set of results there.
