Jake Faria With A Short Start Wednesday Versus Kansas City
7 years agoTampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jake Faria lasted only 4 1/3 innings Wednesday versus Kansas City. He would allow three runs and the Rays never trailed in the game, though his early exit denied him the win. He still has a poor season ERA of 5.20. In Faria's 86 2/3 innings in the majors during 2017, he struck out 84 batters while issuing only 31 walks. Perhaps the biggest concern is that he also gave up 11 home runs in those 86 2/3 innings. He has more solid outings than terrible ones. Faria is slated to be the third starter for the Rays and should be owned in most 12-team leagues.
