Barrett struggled again on Thursday, as he allowed three runs (all earned) in just 0.2 innings against the Padres. He was tagged with the loss.

EDGE Analysis

Barrett came on in the eighth with Arizona up a run and quickly recorded two outs. But he then allowed two hits and a walk to load the bases, and was yanked for Enrique Burgos, who proceeded to give up a three-run double. Barrett has allowed nine earned runs in his last six innings and his ERA is up to 4.23. Given Barret's eighth inning usage (and his recent struggles), it appears Arizona's closer situation is very fluid at the moment.
