Pelfrey (6-8) surrendered seven hits, four earned runs and two walks over 3.2 innings in a 4-1 loss to the Astros on Saturday. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Pelfrey concluded a roller-coaster August that featured two starts in which he failed to get out of the fourth inning, and another in which he was chased before completing the fifth. Despite these red flags, Pelfrey somehow managed to escape the month with only one loss and without giving up a single gopher ball. The veteran right-hander continues to turn in periodic quality starts for the Twins and has posted a respectable 3.85 ERA in 2015, but his overall inconsistency has kept owners guessing all season long.
