Taylor Widener Struggles, Strikes Out Eight In No-Decision
Taylor Widener did not factor into the decision on Tuesday night, as he allowed five runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out eight in 4 2/3 innings of work against Pittsburgh. Widener has only made seven starts this season due to injury, but when healthy he has gone 1-0 with a 3.55 ERA, 1.273 WHIP and 22.8 percent strikeout rate. The big issue though is that Widener has not pitched five or more innings in a start since the end of April. In deeper formats he could be worth looking at as a streaming option going forward, but only when he gets a favorable matchup.
