The righty got tagged for eight runs, including two home runs, both of which are the most he has allowed in a game this season. He also threw a season-low three strikeouts for the second time this month. He has a 7.88 June ERA, which he will look to improve in his next appearance, which is projected to be a home start versus the Blue Jays next week.
