Luis Mendoza allowed three runs in 4 1/3 innings to take the loss Tuesday, as the Royals fell to the Twins. Mendoza struggled to pitch efficiently and thus received an early hook, giving up seven hits and three walks in his 4 1/3 frames. The right-hander had been better in his previous starts but is still a fringy pitcher even in AL-only leagues. He could be a decent spot start candidate against the Astros on Sunday, though.
