Goes four innings vs. Cubs
Abbott did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Cubs, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out three.
Analysis
It was a short outing for Abbott, who failed to make it through five innings for the first time in his last 14 starts. It's also the first time that the left-hander's given up more than three earned runs in a start over that span -- he'd posted a 2.86 ERA across 72.1 innings in his previous 13 outings. Abbott will head into the All-Star break with a 4.11 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 84:48 K:BB over 20 starts (105 innings) this season.

Fans eight during loss
Abbott (5-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out eight over six innings.
Analysis
Abbott allowed all three of his runs in the third inning, including a two-run homer from Kyle Schwarber. The southpaw bounced back nicely afterward, retiring 10 of the final 12 batters he faced while striking out six. Abbott turned in a quality start and set a season high with eight strikeouts, but it wasn't enough to counter Zack Wheeler's dominant seven-inning, 14-strikeout performance. After an ugly start to the season, Abbott has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start since April 24, posting a 2.86 ERA with a 62:32 K:BB over that stretch. He is scheduled to make one final start before the All-Star break at home against the Cubs.
