Takes loss in bulk-relief role
Arrighetti (7-8) took the loss against the Guardians on Tuesday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two across 3.2 innings.
Analysis
Spencer Miles drew the start for the Blue Jays on Tuesday, and Arrighetti took over in the third inning after Ricky Tiedemann pitched the second. Arrighetti kept the Guardians off the board until the fifth inning, when he gave up a two-run homer to Patrick Bailey, and the former did not receive enough run support from his Blue Jays teammates to avoid the loss. Arrighetti has been tagged with the loss in each of his first three outings with the Blue Jays, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on 10 hits (including three home runs) and five walks while striking out 10 batters across 11 innings. He could be used as a starter or in a bulk-relief role this weekend on the road against the Royals.

Jumped early in seventh loss
Arrighetti (7-7) took the loss against the Royals on Thursday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four.
Analysis
Kansas City pounced on Arrighetti right away Thursday, plating four runs in the first two innings. The right-hander produced a 1.34 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in his first eight starts of the year but has seen his effectiveness fall off a cliff since the beginning of June, posting an 8.19 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in his last 48.1 innings (11 outings). He'll try to right the ship his next time out in Cleveland, where he'll take a season 4.81 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 95:54 K:BB over 95.1 innings.
