From Rotoworld: Skaggs surrendered three earned runs over four innings Saturday in a loss to the Athletics. Skaggs, making his first start since April 28, surrendered one run in the top of the first inning and two more in the top of the fourth while falling to 1-2 on the season with a 4.32 ERA. He gave up six hits, two walks, and struck out three. The 26-year-old left-hander will try for better results next time out against the Mariners.
Paxton held the Royals to two runs and four hits in six innings to win Friday. Paxton, the AL Pitcher of the Month for July, has won seven straight starts now. He’s struck out at least seven in the last six of those, and he’s sitting at 132 strikeouts in 113 1/3 innings for the season. If he can stay healthy, he’ll remain one of the league’s very best.
