Ariel Miranda (7-6) allowed four runs (all earned) on four hits and six walks, while striking out six in Seattle's 4-2 defeat to the Angels on Sunday. He was charged with the loss.
Fantasy Implications: Miranda's last win was back on June 30. Since July, he has made it past the sixth inning in only one of his last seven starts. A chief reason is his severe fly-ball tendencies (52.2 FB%) which have lead to a noxious 12 home runs being hit over the 37.1 innings (2.91 HR/9) he has pitched in those starts. Although control has not been issue for Miranda up to now, the six walks on Sunday were the most the Cuban left-hander has allowed all year. Until he can right the ship, Miranda should, if at all possible, be avoided in all fantasy formats.
