Danny Salazar roughed up again in 9-1 loss to Oakland A’s

Danny Salazar was again shaky in his second start after returning from the disabled list in a 9-1 loss to the Oakland A’s Tuesday night.

Salazar was tagged for three runs in the first inning, just like in his initial start after being activated, this time via a three-run home run off the bat of Khris Davis. He finished after four innings, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks.

Salazar has now allowed nine runs in five innings in those two outings, certainly not alleviating any concerns after he was sent to the DL with elbow inflammation. Following his first start, he had to complete his work in the bullpen to get lengthened out.

The Indians, meanwhile, struggled to hit A’s starter Sean Manaea, who gave up one run in seven innings pitched.
