Ariel Miranda labors in no-decision

Ariel Miranda, in a no-decision, yielded six earned runs on five hits and two walks in five complete innings, in Seattle's come from behind win against Oakland Tuesday night. He also struck out six.

Fantasy Implications: Miranda's nemesis continues to be the long ball, which is responsible for his season's 4.65 ERA. The 27-year-old lefty coughed up two souvenirs into the outfield bleachers, a three-run homer to Khris Davis in the first inning, and a solo shot in the fifth frame to Ryon Healy. Miranda has now given up a dreadful 19 HR in his last 64.1 innings pitched (2.67 HR/9).  He does have a respectable 1.16 WHIP for the year.  Miranda's next projected start is Sunday at Safeco Field against the Angels.
