From Rotoworld: Straily yielded two earned runs over six innings Sunday in a loss to the Reds. Outside of an ugly all-around second inning for the host Marlins it was a decent outing for Straily, who could very well be traded ahead of Monday’s deadline. He gave up seven total hits and two walks while striking out four. The right-hander is now 7-7 on the season with a 3.79 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 111/35 K/BB ratio in 123 1/3 innings.
Foltyniewicz was tagged for five runs in four innings by the Phillies in a loss Monday. This breaks up a string of seven straight starts in which Folty had allowed three runs or fewer. The Braves had actually won each of his last nine starts, including one against the Nationals in which he gave up eight runs in 3 1/3 innings. That makes the loss today his first since May 27.
