Troy Melton - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Snaps losing streak Monday Melton (8-4) earned the win over Minnesota on Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings.

Impact Melton looked like he was headed for a quality start when he retired the first two batters in the sixth inning while holding a 5-2 lead, but the right-hander then gave up two singles and a double to yield two runs. That spelled the end of Melton's outing, and despite the disappointing finish, Detroit held on to hand him the victory. He had lost three straight games coming into Monday, with his most recent loss being to the same Twins club, when Melton gave up seven runs (five earned) over 5.1 frames. Melton is scheduled to make his next start at home in a favorable matchup against Colorado.

Tagged for five runs vs. MIN Melton (7-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Twins, allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings.

Impact Melton surrendered a first-inning homer to Kody Clemens before settling in to retire 10 consecutive batters, but things unraveled over the fifth and sixth innings. He was charged with six runs during that span, two of which scored via error, and exited after allowing a three-run homer to Royce Lewis in the sixth. The five earned runs were a season high for Melton, who entered Tuesday having allowed more than three just once in 16 starts. He's now taken the loss in three straight outings and owns a 2.20 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 84:29 K:BB across 102.1 innings. Melton is slated for a rematch with Minnesota on Monday.

Stuck with loss in quality start Wednesday Melton (7-3) took the loss Wednesday as the Tigers fell 3-0 to the Rays, allowing three runs on seven hits over seven innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

Impact The 25-year-old right-hander delivered his ninth quality start of the season in only 16 trips to the mound on 84 pitches (58 strikes), but Detroit didn't provide him with any run support. Over five outings in August, Melton has produced a 2.10 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB in 30 innings, but he has just a 1-2 record to show for it. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, which is set to come on the road early next week in Minnesota.

Takes second loss Friday Melton (7-2) allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits across 5.2 innings to take the loss in Friday's 5-2 defeat to the Royals. He walked three and struck out three.

Impact Melton was ultimately done in by a pair of Kansas City home runs as well as a lack of run support, and he ended up taking his first loss since June 25. In eight starts since then coming into Friday's contest, he had allowed two earned runs just once and had posted a sparkling 0.77 ERA. On the season, Melton has a stellar 1.60 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 90 innings of work, though he hasn't been a great source of strikeouts with only 76 of them so far. The young righty will look to get back in the win column in his next scheduled outing, which is currently lined up for Wednesday against the Rays at home.

Inefficient in no-decision Saturday Melton didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox, giving up three runs on nine hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact It was the shortest outing of the season for Melton, who got the hook after 87 pitches (56 strikes) with the score tied 3-3. The right-hander continues to be stingy with long balls, though -- he didn't give up a homer for a fourth straight start Saturday, and since the beginning of July he's been taken deep just once in eight trips to the mound, posting a 1.16 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB over 46.2 innings. Melton will look to bounce back in his next start, which is set to come on the road next weekend in Kansas City.

Limits Giants in no-decision Melton did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Giants, allowing one unearned run on four hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings.

Impact Melton threw 60 of his 92 pitches for strikes and generated 14 whiffs while never facing more than four batters in an inning. He held San Francisco scoreless through six frames before returning for the seventh and issuing a leadoff walk to Rafael Devers, prompting his exit. Melton watched from the dugout as Devers eventually scored on an error. The right-hander hasn't allowed an earned run across his last three starts (20 innings) and owns a 3-0 record with a 0.64 ERA since the beginning of July. Through 80 innings this season, Melton boasts a stellar 1.46 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 69:24 K:BB. He's tentatively scheduled to face the White Sox on Saturday.
