Kirby (8-9) took the loss against the Tigers on Tuesday, allowing 11 runs on 13 hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 3.2 innings.
Kirby surrendered career highs in hits and runs in his second straight loss to the Tigers. He did generate 15 swinging strikes on 86 pitches but was tagged for 12 hard-hit balls and three homers. The righty has failed to record a quality start in three consecutive outings, allowing 27 hits and 16 earned runs across 14 innings in that span. Despite Tuesday's nightmare performance, the 26-year-old owns a 3.73 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 143:17 K:BB across 144.2 innings and will try to rebound this weekend against the Pirates.
