Jackson Jobe Allows Six Runs On Wednesday
Jackson Jobe allowed eight hits and six earned runs during Wednesday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. Jobe struck out just two batters and allowed one walk. Most of Jobe's damage came against the long ball. He allowed his first round-tripper in the opening frame to third baseman Ryan McMahon, which was a two-run shot. Later in the third, Michael Toglia would also hit a two-run shot. The top prospect has struggled during his first extended stint in the major leagues. Across his first 27 2/3 innings in the Detroit starting rotation, the former third overall pick has posted a 4.88 ERA with a high 1.48 WHIP. He has held a 20:15 K:BB and allowed five home runs. Given his weak command, fantasy managers in shallower formats should not consider starting Jobe for the time being. He is lined up to face the Boston Red Sox next week.
