De Jong (1-4) took the loss Monday against the Diamondbacks after allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Although he gave up seven hits, all four runs De Jong surrendered came via the long ball. He allowed Pavin Smith and Josh VanMeter to go back-to-back in the second, and Eduardo Escobar launched a two-run shot in the fifth to make it 4-0. The 27-year-old has now given up at least four runs in four of his last five starts, and he's allowed five homers across his last two outings. He did tie his season high in strikeouts, but that's not much consolation for those who rolled him out in fantasy. De Jong now sports a 5.77 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and a 39:19 K:BB over 43.2 innings. He's in line for a matchup against the Brewers next week.
