Tanaka was obliterated by the Astros on Sunday, surrendering eight runs on seven hits over 1 2/3 innings of work. Tanaka walked one and struck out three in the miserable outing. The Astros did their damage via the long ball in this one, with George Springer and Josh Reddick each homering to start the game. Alex Bregman then clubbed a grand slam in the first inning while Springer crushed a second bomb his next time up. Tanaka now owns a disappointing 5.80 ERA and 1.44 WHIP on the season. (Rotoworld)
Andriese limited the Red Sox to two runs over five innings Sunday for his third win. Andriese walked four but held a dangerous Boston offense to just four hits. He struck out five. The 27-year-old right-hander now stands 3-1 with a 3.18 ERA and 42 strikeouts over 45 1/3 innings this season, though his peripheral numbers aren’t as spectacular.
