Koehler (9-9) pitched six innings, allowing four runs, seven hits and two walks while striking out six Royals in Thursday's loss.

EDGE Analysis

Thursday marked Koehler's first loss since July 16 -- a stretch of seven starts -- and ended a six-game streak of quality outings. On the bright side, Koehler's six strikeouts matched his second-highest total since late-June and gave him 31 K's over his last 36 innings. The righty will look to rebound when he takes the hill for his next start Tuesday against the Mets.
