Ariel Jurado has had a nice season for AA Frisco, putting up a 3.28 ERA for the Roughriders, albeit with just 5.1 Ks per 9. With the Rangers thin on starting depth, Jurado has been pressed into duty in the major league rotation, and had respectable results his previous two outings, albeit, again, with a low K rate.
Today, against one of the best teams in baseball, Jurado got knocked around. 6 runs allowed in 5 innings of work, including 4 home runs, with 3 walks against 1 K.
