Hutchison done in by fourth inning: Toronto rookie starter Drew Hutchison lasted just four innings on Tuesday night at Tampa Bay. Facing Rays rookie Matt Moore, neither pitcher was very effective for very long. Moore was sharp early, but came undone in the fifth. Hutchison allowed one run in the second and five more in the fourth before leaving the game and taking the losing decision to fall to 3-2 on the year. Hutchison allowed homers to Luke Scott and Carlos Pena – who blasted a three-run shot – as he gave up six runs on seven hits and no walks over four frames. He needed 86 pitches to go that distance and struck out three batters. Hutchison’s ERA is at 5.73 on the year. (Updated 05/22/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Hutchison snapped a two-start winning streak with the defeat against the Rays on Tuesday night. He’d allowed just two earned runs over his previous 12 innings entering Tuesday, but was hit hard against the Rays. He’s struggled against better hitting lineups thus far and is just an AL-only Fantasy option at this point in his young career. His next scheduled start comes Monday against Baltimore. He faced the Orioles earlier in the year and allowed two runs over five innings in just his second career start. Hutchison is on track to make two starts in the upcoming scoring period.
