Festa (2-5) took the loss Tuesday against Tampa Bay, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out seven.
It's the second straight tough-luck loss for Festa -- the right-hander held the Rays to a pair of four-inning runs, though Minnesota could only muster one tally off Jeffrey Springs in the eventual defeat. While Festa's now 0-4 in his last five starts, he's pitched to a respectable 3.91 ERA in that span (23 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at 4.75 on the season with a 1.20 WHIP and 58:13 K:BB across 47.1 frames. Festa will hope for better luck in his next outing, currently slated for early next week at home against the Angels.
