Spencer Arrighetti - Strikes out eight in loss Arrighetti (4-9) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Arrighetti produced a baseline quality start, but he faded late by giving up a solo shot to James Outman in the fifth inning and a two-run blast to Gavin Lux in the sixth. This was the first time in four starts Arrighetti was tagged for multiple home runs. On the bright side, he's gone at least six innings in four of his last six starts, and he's limited opponents to three runs or less in three of those games. The rookie right-hander is at a 5.58 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 104:47 K:BB through 92 innings over 19 starts this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.
