Serves up four home runs Roark (2-2) allowed six earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four across four innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Yankees.

That's resulted in a 6.41 ERA and an unsightly 3.2 HR/9 across 39.1 frames. He'll have to square off against the Yankees once again in his next outing, currently projected to come Monday.
