Kutter Crawford - Takes third straight loss Crawford (8-12) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Thursday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over 6.2 innings while striking out three. Impact Crawford got knocked around a bit in the third inning when he allowed a leadoff double to Brian Serven to open the frame, followed by an RBI double off the bat of Vladimir Guerrero three batters later. The right-hander would allow just one more run on the night, which came on a two-bagger from Ernie Clement in the sixth, while inducing 12 whiffs overall in the contest. Crawford has now been tagged with the loss in each of his last three starts and he's given up multiple runs in eight straight. He'll wrap up the month of August with a 6.32 ERA to go along with a 22:11 K:BB.
