Jacob Turner allowed four runs -- three earned -- on six hits over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Rockies on Sunday. He struck out one and walked one. Turner hasn't exceeded six innings pitched in an August outing and he's scuffled to an 0-2 record and 4.29 ERA over 26 2/3 frames this month. The earned run average could have been worse, but he's danced around 31 hits and 17 walks. The young right-hander may be wearing down and he doesn't make for a good start on Saturday in Atlanta.

Jacob Turner allowed four runs -- three earned -- on 10 hits in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Tuesday. It's the second straight start in which Turner has performed a magic act to escape without extensive damage. After walking six in his last outing, Turner gave up five walks to go with the 10 hits on Tuesday while failing to strike out a batter. He was aided by three double plays turned by his defense to limit the damage to just three earned runs. He's got the Rockies in his next start on Sunday.

Despite walking six batters, Jacob Turner allowed just two runs -- one earned -- in five innings against the Royals on Wednesday. Turner struck out none -- just 38 of his 89 pitches were strikes -- but the Royals couldn't come up with any big hits against him. The performance didn't get Turner a win, but it kept his ERA under 3.00 at 2.89. He's been living dangerously lately, with his walk rate well up from where it was in his first several starts, bit hasn't bitten him yet.

Jacob Turner held the Braves to two runs and four hits in seven innings to win Wednesday. A big reason for the team's improved play, Turner has given the Marlins seven quality start in eight tries. That he's allowed just one homer in 54 innings is something of a fluke, but he's shaping up as a very nice piece going forward.

Jacob Turner gave up four runs over six innings Friday in a loss to the Cardinals. Turner hadn't allowed more than three earned runs in his previous six starts this season, but pitching against the Cardinals isn't easy. The young right-hander gave up seven hits and a walk while fanning three batters. He'll attempt to bounce back next week against the Braves at home.

Jacob Turner threw the first complete game of his career Saturday as the Marlins beat the Padres 7-1. It was an electric performance from the 22-year-old right-hander. He scattered seven hits over nine frames while striking out seven batters and issuing only one walk. Turner is now 2-0 with a 1.76 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 41 innings since his May 31 promotion to the major leagues and needs to be owned in all standard fantasy leagues. He will get the Braves in Atlanta next week.

Jacob Turner held the Giants to one run over seven innings Saturday in a no-decision. Miami's offense could only muster one run, denying Turner his fourth career major league victory and his second of the season.
