Fans six in quality start Singer did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Astros on Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over six innings while striking out six.
Impact Singer got off to a strong start, allowing just one hit over the first four innings while striking out five of the first 13 batters he faced. The Astros would finally get to him for two runs in the fifth, however, after the right-hander surrendered an infield single to Jeremy Pena with one out, followed by back-to-back doubles from Jon Singleton and Jason Heyward. Singer wouldn't get the win, but he was able to log his second quality start this month while posting at least six strikeouts for the fourth time in his last five outings. He'll look for better results in September after finishing the month of August with a 1-3 record and a 5.53 ERA.

Tosses six scoreless frames Singer (9-8) earned the win Sunday, allowing five hits and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Reds. He struck out six.
Impact Singer, who also hit a batter in allowing seven total batters to reach base, only tossed one flawless inning but also only allowed one baserunner to make it past first base. He left the game with a four-run lead which was more than enough to grab his ninth win. This start comes on the heels of a three-game stretch in which he allowed 13 earned runs over 17.2 innings (6.62 ERA). However, those games came immediately following two consecutive games of seven innings and zero earned runs. It was Singer's 11th quality start this season, and he's pitched particularly well over his last 11 appearances, even including the aforementioned three-game blip, holding a 2.92 ERA over 64.2 innings during that stretch. His next start is tentatively slated to take place at home against the visiting Phillies.
