Ariel Miranda (7-5) took the loss Wednesday evening surrendering five runs (four earned), on seven hits, while striking out five batters and walking none in Seattle's 5-1 defeat against Texas.
The 28-year-old Cuban southpaw continues to get done in by the long ball, giving up solo homers to Delino DeShields and Joey Gallo, and a two-run shot to Elvis Andrus. He has a serviceable 1.15 WHIP and 7.3 K/9. However, with his severe case of gopheritis (1.9 HR/9), Miranda's ERA is not likely to dip below four despite his decent command. His next scheduled start is in Oakland on Tuesday.
