Ryan Tucker's only made three Major League starts in his career, that's why his ERA jumped from 4.50 to 6.75 in one night. The actual reason for the jump is four-fold, as in four extra base hits by the Tampa Bay Rays. Tucker lasted just four innings, and when he couldn't get anyone out in the fifth he was done. He gave up seven earned runs on eight hits.
At least he's not Eulogio De La Cruz. Whatever ails Tucker is contageous, because Cruz couldn't get a single runner out himself. Tampa scored five runs before Cruz was lifted, his ERA climbing from 6.00 to 21.00. Tampa is up 14-0 in the sixth.
Fantasy Impact: Tucker's a stop-gap for the Marlins. Josh Johnson is expected back from a rehab stint right around the All-Star break. He can't get to Miami soon enough. Drop Tucker and grab Johnson, then wait for his arrival.
