Rangers' A.J. Griffin: Bombed for eight runs in loss to Mariners

Griffin (7-4) was thrashed for eight runs on seven hits and three walks in just four innings against the Mariners on Wednesday. He did strike out seven, though.

This was quite the three-true-outcomes day for Griffin, as 13 of the 22 batters he faced homered, walked or struck out. This hasn't been a good season for Griffin by any definition, but it's turning downright ugly toward the end here, as his ERA is slowly climbing toward the 5.00 mark.
