Velasquez (2-2) allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings to take the loss Saturday against the Pirates.
Velasquez was solid the first time through the lineup, but fell apart after that, leading to his second loss of the season. He's now allowed at least five runs in three of his last seven starts, and despite his upside, he's a volatile fantasy option. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Rockies.
