AI Summary
Peter Lambert delivered a quality start with six strikeouts over seven innings against the Mariners but lost the game, though his fastball velocity has been trending downward throughout the season.
Lambert's latest quality start featured six strikeouts and one walk, but it's a little concerning that his velocity was down; he averaged 93.5 mph with his fastball, 1.2 mph off his season average. He'd already gone from 95.3 and 95.1 mph in his first two starts to 94.3 and 94.4 mph in his previous two starts, so this is looking like a trend. He's not a bad play this weekend against the Rangers, but this doesn't really seem like the time to go pick him up.
