Andrew Albers (2-1) encountered his first loss in a Seattle uniform Sunday, allowing eight runs (three earned) on 11 hits while walking two and striking out four over five complete innings in the Mariners 10-1 loss to the Yankees.
Fantasy Implications: Albers had virtually no chance of earning a win Sunday after the Mariners' defense committed five errors in the first inning, immediately putting the team behind 6-1. Yet the Yankees had no problems solving the 31-year-old southpaw, as attested by the aforementioned 11 hits he allowed. Albers' 4.20 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and .338 opponents batting average are evidence of his failure to miss bats, and likely will continue to haunt him at the big league level. His next scheduled start is Saturday against the Athletics at Safeco Field.
