Michael Wacha pitched decently in a losing effort against the Rangers on Thursday afternoon, surrendering four runs on nine hits over seven innings of work.

Wacha walked one and struck out two on the day. Most of the damage done against him came early, as the Rangers scratched out single runs in each of the first three innings — the last on a solo blast by Corey Seager. The lone tally after that came on a run-scoring single in the sixth. Wacha generated seven whiffs on 102 pitches on the day, posting an underwhelming CSW of just 22 percent. Now 4-5 on the season, he’ll carry a solid 3.58 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 69/27 K/BB ratio (88 innings) into Tuesday’s battle against the Nationals in Washington.
