Skaggs (1-5) landed in the loss column after allowing three runs on six hits and a walk Wednesday against the Athletics. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

Skaggs tied his season high for strikeouts, but it still wasn't enough for the southpaw to earn his first win since April. Wednesday marked just his second quality start in seven outings since he returned from an oblique injury at the beginning of August; he owns a 5.61 ERA and 31:14 K:BB in 33.2 innings over that stretch. Skaggs' next start comes at home against the Astros.
