From Rotoworld: Lamet allowed six runs — five earned — over four innings in a loss to the Indians on Thursday. Four of the six Indians’ runs came by way of homer, with Lamet serving up a three-run shot in the first inning and a solo bomb in the fifth. He issued four walks and allowed six hits in total, closing out an up-and-down first half with his third loss. In eight starts, the 24-year-old is 3-3 with a 5.93 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 55/15 K/BB ratio.
