Since the all-star break - admittedly a bit of arbitrary starting point - he's got an ERA of 6.92 and FIP of 6.37 and a strikeout rate that's plunged from 23.2 percent to 13.7.

Kevin Kiermaier homered to lead off the ninth inning to tie the score and the winning run came across on a bases-loaded wild pitch as the Tampa Bay Rays salvaged the finale of a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners with a 7-6 victory on Wednesday in St. Petersburg, Fla. Following Kiermaier's homer, his 13th of the season, to straightaway center field off Mariners right-hander Matt Magill (3-1), Willy Adames lined a single to left and Michael Brosseau doubled into the left-field corner. After an intentional walk to pinch-hitter Ji-Man Choi to load the bases, Magill threw a curveball in the dirt to Tommy Pham. Continue to Article

Washington Nationals reliever Hunter Strickland isn't expected to miss any playing time after breaking his nose while lifting weights. The 30-year-old right-hander, who joined the Nationals in a July 31 trade with the Seattle Mariners, sustained the injury before Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh. Washington manager Dave Martinez told reporters after the 4-1 loss to the Pirates that Strickland was struck in the face by a barbell. Continue to Article
