Ramirez (5-4) surrendered seven runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- while striking out three over 4.1 innings in Friday's 11-5 loss to the Twins.
Homers are increasingly becoming an issue for Ramirez. After giving up only two in his first five starts following his move into the rotation, the right-hander has now served up eight in his last five starts. He's been able to limit the damage somewhat, posting a 4.50 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB in 32 innings over that stretch, but his initial success as a starter seems to be fading. He'll next take the mound Thursday in Detroit.
