Dunning (5-8) allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out only one in 4.2 innings Friday, taking the loss versus Boston.
Dunning allowed runs to score in the first and second innings before settling down. He then ran into trouble again in the fifth, yielding a short solo shot to Xander Bogaerts and a two-run double to Alex Verdugo. Dunning sports a 4.31 ERA with a mediocre 1.42 WHIP and 98:36 K:BB across 104.1 innings this year. He's projected to make his next start at home versus Houston next weekend, which is a fairly unfavorable matchup.
