Mariners' Taijuan Walker: Suffers eighth loss of season Sunday

Walker (4-9) allowed four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three over 7.1 innings to take the loss Sunday against the White Sox.

Analysis:

Walker has struggled over his last four starts, as he's allowed at least four runs in each outing, raising his ERA from 3.29 to 4.19. The good news is that he has a 1.17 WHIP, a number that's decreased in each of the last two seasons. He'll make his next start Friday against the Angels.
