Yusei Kikuchi allowed four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out one across four innings in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision.
Fantasy Impact
Kikuchi has struggled for much of the season and that hasn't changed of late, as he's now allowed 10 earned runs in 16 1/3 innings. He owns a 5.55 ERA and a 112:50 K:BB through 155 2/3 this season. His next scheduled start is Wednesday, home against the Astros.
