Detwiler allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over four innings in a no-decision Monday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Detwiler had gone a week since his last appearance because he was needed in relief after a Raul Alcantara went short against the Angels, which may have factored into the decision to removve him after just 81 pitches. Either way, Detwiler wasn't fooling Royals hitters at all, as he failed to strike out a single batter and recorded just one swinging strike. Detwiler has a 5.31 ERA and won't improve as long as making contact is so easy for opposing hitters.
