Walker (9-9) allowed seven runs -- three earned -- on six hits and three walks while striking out six batters in just 3.2 innings to take the loss against Miami on Saturday.
After allowing just four runs and striking out 27 batters in 28.2 innings over a five-game stretch, Walker has now surrendered 11 runs in his past two starts. Walker sports a solid 3.54 ERA, and 1.35 WHIP for the campaign, but start-to-start inconsistency is clearly still a hindrance to his fantasy value. A road game against the Royals projects to be Walker's final start of the regular season.
