View More NewsYusei Kikuchi strikes out eight in loss to Braves on Tuesday
Yusei Kikuchi struck out a season-high eight batters on Tuesday, but allowed four runs on six hits in five innings as the Braves defeated the Angels, 7-2.
Fantasy Impact
Kikuchi (0-2) suffered his second loss of the season, but other than the fourth inning, pitched relatively well. The lefthander was touched up for three runs on three hits and a walk in the top of the fourth as the Braves took a 4-2 advantage. The eight strikeouts were his most in a game since striking out eight against the Phillies last July. Kikuchi is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA, allowing 20 hits and six walks in 14.2 innings through three starts. He'll look to pick up his first win of the season in his next start against the Yankees in New York.
