Another short start
Bratt allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over three innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Sunday.
Analysis
Bratt gave up a three-spot in the third inning, and the Diamondbacks opted to go to the bullpen early after that. His teammates got him off the hook with a comeback win, but this was a second straight shaky showing for Bratt after he opened August with a pair of quality starts. He's given up six runs on nine hits and six walks over six innings across his last two outings. Bratt is at a 4.54 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 28:25 K:BB through 39.2 innings over nine starts this season, five of which have been shorter than five innings. He's a risky fantasy option even heading into a favorable road matchup versus the Giants for his next game.

Takes loss at Fenway Park
Bratt (1-2) was tagged with the loss against the Red Sox on Monday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over three innings. He did not record a strikeout.
Analysis
Bratt was far from the worst pitcher for the Diamondbacks on Monday, with Zack Littell yielding eight runs (six earned) on 11 hits across 3.2 innings. Still, Bratt ran up his pitch count to 65 (37 strikes) through three frames while generating only one whiff. It was the second time this season that the 23-year-old southpaw failed to record a strikeout, and he now sports a 4.17 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 36.2 innings. Bratt is lined up to start against the Reds at home this weekend.
