Mariners' Justus Sheffield: Unravels against Orioles

Sheffield allowed four earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five across 4.1 innings Saturday against the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.

Sheffield gave up three runs in the second inning when he surrendered consecutive doubles that led to the majority of he damage. However, he was ultimately chased in the fifth inning when he gave up two hits and hit a batter to load the bases. It was a disappointing effort for Sheffield, and he's now allowed four or more earned runs in three of his last five starts, inflating his ERA to 5.81 and WHIP to 1.68 in 31 innings this season. His next and final outing of the campaign is currently projected to come Friday against Oakland.
