Kevin Slowey was knocked around by the Yankees Friday, yielding six runs on nine hits and a walk over 5 2/3 innings. He struck out four while allowing a pair of home runs. It's officially Slowey's first start since coming back from Triple-A, as his last outing was ultimately rained out. Though the results obviously weren't pretty, we should probably have expected it given the matchup. He'll try to rebound next week against the Orioles.
