Canning (5-13) took the loss Tuesday against the Twins, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
The 28-year-old suffered through his roughest outing of the season, allowing a career-worst nine earned runs in this 105-pitch showing. Canning yielded three long balls, equaling a season-worst mark from a start against Boston on April 5. This also marks his third consecutive appearance with three or more walks, as Canning has generated just 15 strikeouts against 11 free passes over his last 17.1 innings. Overall, the Los Angeles right-hander has now pitched to an ugly 5.35 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 117:59 K:BB across 156.1 innings this season. He gets some reprieve in his next start, as he's currently scheduled to face the White Sox at home next week.
