Yusei Kikuchi Takes Loss Friday
Yusei Kikuchi gave up four runs on six hits and a walk through 5 2/3 innings in Friday's loss to the Rockies. After a terrific bounce back start his last time out against the Athletics, Kikuchi looked more like this 2019 self in this start with the high WHIP and only striking out three batters in 5 2/3 innings. Kikuchi has upside but so far has been inconsistent in his MLB career and should only be started based on the matchup. Kikuchi is set to take on the Astros in Houston on Friday and that would not be the matchup to start him.
