Randy Vásquez gave up six runs while getting six outs Monday in a loss to the Tigers.
The bill had to come due to Vásquez, who entered the night with a 1.74 ERA in spite of a 4.29 FIP, a 5.71 xERA and a 6.83 SIERA. It looks like it’ll be a few more weeks before the Padres have to make a decision on who to remove from the rotation, either Vásquez or Kyle Hart, when Yu Darvish comes back, and anything could happen before then. Vásquez is due to face the Rays next.
Alejandro Kirk went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead three-run homer on Wednesday, powering the Blue Jays to a 3-1 victory over the Rays.
Yimi García fired a perfect ninth inning on Wednesday against the Rays to record his third save of the season.
Chris Bassitt notched six strikeouts and allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings on Wednesday in a no-decision against the Rays.
Ryan Pepiot struck out seven and gave up three runs over six innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Blue Jays.
Riley Greene went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer on Wednesday, leading the Tigers to a 6-5 victory over the Red Sox.
Greene put Detroit on the scoreboard with a nifty swim move to avoid a tag at home plate in the second inning before crushing his 10th big fly of the season against Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old fantasy stalwart has arrived as a true middle-of-the-order force this season for the Tigers, hitting .273/.326/.497 with 25 runs scored, 10 homers, 27 RBI and one steal over 42 games.
Alex Bregman went 3-for-4 with his 11th home run of the season on Wednesday in a loss to the Tigers.
