Latest on Mejia via Rotoworld: Mejia allowed one run on five hits over six-plus innings while taking a no-decision in Thursday’s win over the Angels. Mejia struck out five and walked two on the evening. He kept the Angels off the scoreboard until the sixth inning, when Kole Calhoun struck for a solo home run to knot the score at 1-1. The 23-year-old southpaw will look for another strong performance when he takes on the Mariners in Seattle during his next scheduled start. He will carry a 3.95 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 24/14 K/BB ratio (27 2/3 innings) into that one.
Gallardo fared poorly in Thursday’s loss to the Rockies, allowing six hits, five runs, and three walks while recording two strikeouts. Gallardo’s afternoon was a disaster from the word go. The Rockies bludgeoned him for four runs in the second inning and grabbed another in the third on a towering solo blast by Nolan Arenado. This was the second time in three outings Gallardo has failed to make it out of the fourth inning. With Seattle’s rotation getting closer to full strength, his spot isn’t as secure as it once was. The 31-year-old will look to get back on track next time out against Minnesota.
