Griffin (5-1) allowed three runs -- all on solo homers -- over 5.2 innings Thursday in a win over Baltimore. He struck out six while surrendering five hits without a walk.

EDGE Analysis

He had a shutout going through four, but Mark Trumbo and Pedro Alvarez touched Griffin up for back-to-back jacks in the fifth, then Hyun Soo Kim homered off him to lead off the next inning. Even so, Griffin came just a single out shy of a quality start. He's always had problems with the long ball -- this is, after all, a guy who gave up 36 of them in his last MLB season, 2013 -- but it's been extra brutal lately, as Griffin has now allowed 12 homers in his last eight starts. That makes him awfully hard to trust for fantasy purposes despite his currently not-terrible rate stats.
