Yordano Ventura fell to 7-8 after allowing six runs over 4 1/3 innings in a loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.
The Red Sox were all over Ventura, racking up nine hits and four walks without striking out before chasing him with one out in the fifth inning. Catcher David Ross was responsible for the biggest blow, homering with one on and one out in the fourth inning to make it a 4-0 ballgame. Ventura still has a respectable 3.59 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, and an 88/35 K/BB ratio in 107 2/3 innings. He'll look to rebound at home against the Indians on Friday.
Jul 20 - 4:44 PM
Yordano Ventura was terrific in Friday's victory over the Indians, allowing just one run on six hits over 8 1/3 innings.
The rookie right-hander carried a shutout into the ninth inning, before being denied by Michael Brantley's solo blast. He struck out four in the impressive outing while walking a pair. Now 6-7 on the year, he'll bring a terrific 3.07 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 80/27 K/BB ratio into Wednesday's matchup against the Rays in Tampa Bay.
Jul 4 - 10:28 PM
Yordano Ventura allowed two runs on six hits over seven innings but took the loss against the Mariners on Sunday.
Ventura allowed a Mike Zunino homer to lead off the seventh inning, which ended up being the difference in the game. The right-handed struck out six while walking two on the afternoon. The loss snapped his three-game winning streak, and despite pitching well overall he's 5-6 on the season. Ventura has a 3.20 ERA and 1.25 WHIP, and he'll try to get back in the win column against the Angels on Saturday.
Jun 22 - 5:44 PM
Yordano Ventura allowed three runs on eight hits over seven innings in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.
Ventura didn't have to be at the top of his game, as the Royals got to Tigers starter Max Scherzer for 10 runs before the end of the fifth inning. Ventura walked two and struck out four in the win. The 23-year-old is 5-5 with a 3.26 ERA and 1.25 WHIP through 13 starts. He'll look for his fourth straight win when he takes on the Mariners on Sunday.

Eric Hosmer
Sidelined
Eric Hosmer was pulled from Wednesday's game against the Cubs with "decreased grip strength in his hand."
That was the announcement from the Kansas City medical staff. Hosmer got hit by a pitch on Sunday and sat out Monday and Tuesday with what was called a right hand contusion. He obviously needs a little more rest.

Vargas still doesn't feel quite right after undergoing an appendectomy in early July. The left-hander will aim to return to the Kansas City rotation late next week.

D.L.
Luke Hochevar (elbow) hopes to resume throwing in September.
Hochevar underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery in mid-March. The 30-year-old right-handed setup man might be ready for Opening Day 2015. He had a fantastic 2013 season, posting a 1.92 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and 82/17 K/BB ratio in 70 1/3 innings.
