Parker (5-6) allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over three innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The six runs allowed were a season high for Parker, who has given up at least four runs in four of his last six starts. He struggled in his last outing before the All-Star break and labored through his three frames Wednesday as well. The rookie southpaw is now at a 4.34 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 81:24 K:BB through 95.1 innings over 18 starts this year. Outside of a modest strikeout rate (7.6 K/9), there's nothing glaringly wrong with Parker's performance, so he'll simply need to do a better job of run prevention as he works through the grind of a full major-league season. Parker's next start is projected to be at Arizona.
