Triggs (5-4) allowed six runs -- just one earned -- on six hits and a walk while striking out three batters during Sunday's loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
A few timely errors led to five unearned runs and a loss for Triggs. The Yankees are the highest-scoring team in the American League, so giving them additional chances won't often end well. Triggs has now lost consecutive games after allowing five earned runs to the Red Sox last Sunday. Overall it's been a solid start to 2017, as he's posted a 3.39 FIP and 1.14 WHIP for the season, which highlights that there's some sustainability to his sterling 2.64 ERA. Still, it isn't out of the question to fade the youngster against daunting opponents. His upcoming date with the Nationals likely qualifies.
