Framber Valdez allowed three runs (two earned) and got a no-decision against the Royals on Sunday.

Valdez gave up four hits, walked three and struck out four. He got off to an inauspicious start in the first inning as he allowed a home run, a single and a hit by pitch to the first three hitters. Tigers fans and fantasy managers were surely having flashbacks to when Valdez allowed six runs in the first inning against the Cubs in his last start. He was able to rebound and make it through five innings, but Valdez hasn’t been at the top of his game for most of the season now. He has a 4.53 ERA. Valdez is lined up to face the Athletics on the road next weekend.
