Bounces back with quality start
Valdez allowed one unearned run on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision against Houston on Tuesday.
Analyse
Valdez took two losses while giving up nine runs over 16.2 innings over his previous three starts coming into Tuesday, but he was much better against the Astros. The southpaw gave up just one run -- which was unearned -- and recorded his first quality start since May 24 while registering his highest strikeout total in over a month. Valdez did issue three walks, but he also kept the ball in the park for just the second time across his past five outings. The veteran hurler has been somewhat disappointing so far in his first season with Detroit, as he holds a 4.09 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 67:32 K:BB over 83.2 innings through 15 starts.

Struggles with homers in loss
Valdez (3-5) was tagged with the loss Wednesday in the 6-4 defeat to the Twins after he allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two in five innings.
Analyse
Valdez gave up home runs to Royce Lewis and Byron Buxton, which accounted for all of the damage against him. The lefty took his fourth loss in his past seven starts and has a 5.54 ERA and 1.42 WHIP during that span. The two-time All-Star's strikeout rate this year is down more than five points to 17.9 percent, which would be a career low.
