Parra gave up four runs in 5.2 innings of work in Friday night's loss to the Dodgers. He also allowed 10 hits, but his K:BB ratio was solid at 6:1.
Recommendation: Parra has lost four straight decisions. He may be feeling the effects of a long season. Parra is up to 136.2 innings and has given up 16 earned runs in his last 24 innings. That has raised his ERA to 4.12. It could have been worse for Parra. David Riske relieved him with the bases loaded and got Matt Kemp to fly out.
