Bergman (3-4) got pulverized to the tune of nine runs on 10 hits over 2.2 innings in Minnesota on Tuesday. He struck out three without a walk.
This marks the second unmitigated implosion by Bergman this season, joining his 10-run outing in Washington on May 23. If you take those two starts out, he's allowed just seven earned runs over 34 innings (1.85 ERA) in his other six MLB appearances this year, highlighting the boom-or-bust profile he's offered fantasy owners to this point. However, Bergman's tendency to serve up long balls (10 in 40.2 innings on the year) and awful 5.91 FIP suggest that we're likely to see him bust more often as the season continues.
