Felipe Paulino allowed four runs on seven hits in seven innings of work on Sunday, falling to 1-3 in Kansas City's 4-3 loss to the Twins. Paulino struck out eight and walked just one in what was all-in-all a pretty solid start, but he was done in by allowing a three-run homer to Jim Thome in the sixth. Regardless, he's acquitted himself well since joining the Royals rotation in early June, and it's hard to see him losing his value in AL-only leagues.
