While Kyle Drabek didn’t pitch spectacularly, he was a tough luck loser after going six innings of two run ball where he only allowed four hits. This is because behind him only Matt Davidson, Matt Tuiasosopo, Trayce Thompson and Chris Curley could manage hits – four singles. Davidson also had two throwing errors to bring his error total on the year to five.
