Chicago White Sox starting pitcher
Drew Thorpe got ambushed during Friday night's start against the visiting Seattle Mariners at Guaranteed Rate Field, allowing eight runs on six hits and two walks in two-thirds of an inning while taking his second loss of the year. Thorpe was able to strike out Mariners slugger
Luke Raley amid Friday's disastrous appearance, but that proved to be the highlight of his evening on a night he couldn't escape the first inning and was hammered for three home runs. His ERA ballooned to 4.81 and his WHIP to 1.19 to go with a concerning 25:19 K:BB over eight starts (39 1/3 frames) on the South Side this season. The 23-year-old rookie right-hander will search for better results when he takes the ball in his next scheduled showing at home against the division-rival Kansas City Royals on Wednesday, but he'll be tough to trust for fantasy purposes despite a somewhat favorable matchup.
