whats up with this guy? given up 17 ER in last 10.2 innings with only 8 K's

Well the Detroit outing was just a bad day against a hot hitting club. Victor Martinez was the only starter that wasn't hitting .310+ at that time. Then came the first inning sprained ankle against the Rays. Should have skipped his last start as clearly his ankle was still a problem, now they are skipping his next start to get it right. I would wait until he has a healthy turn or faces a weak team before running him out on my fantasy squad. Pretty simple.

it's kind of unfortunate in a way the great start he had against Houston, where he had 10 K.
he's not a K pitcher. this season with that 1 10 K game, he has 9.13 K/9.
these are his K/9 in recent years.
12- 6.43
11- 6.59
10- 6.01

aside from that, he will have better numbers. he has had bad luck. .366 BABIP, 55.6 LOB%.
