James Paxton In Search Of Bounce-Back Effort Thursday
1 year agoBoston Red Sox pitcher James Paxton will look to bounce back Thursday night when he takes the ball at home versus the Kansas City Royals. The veteran left-hander was touched up for three homers and four earned runs across five innings his last time out against the Blue Jays, the second time in his last four starts in which he's surrendered at least four earned runs. Otherwise, it's been a nice season for the 34-year-old who owns a 3.60 ERA across 14 starts. Additionally, Paxton sports a 3.72 SIERA and 20.1% K-BB%, both of which suggest he has indeed pitched quite well this season. He has a nice opportunity to bounce back against a Royals offense that is tied for 24th with a .303 wOBA versus left-handed pitching this season.
