Slowey posts 9.00 ERA in July: Twins SP Kevin Slowey allowed four runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings during a 8-2 loss Tuesday against the Yankees. Slowey took the hill after having his start pushed back from Friday because of an infected fingernail. The right-hander carried a 2-1 lead into the sixth before yielding a go-ahead two-run homer to Bobby Abreu. He left after Alex Rodriguez singled to center. Slowey walked two and struck out three for his first loss since June 8. (Updated 07/22/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Slowey had gone 4-0 in his previous six starts, but is having a rough July. Slowey has allowed four or more runs in his three July starts and has a 9.00 ERA in that span. Slowey has shown great potential this season and could one day be a Fantasy ace. For now, he is merely a low-end flier in larger mixed leagues. His next scheduled start is for Monday against the White Sox. Slowey is on track to be a two-start pitcher Fantasy Week 18 (July 28-Aug. 3) with his second start coming against the Indians. He is 0-2 with a 12.38 ERA against Chicago this season and 1-0 with a 7.50 ERA against Cleveland. (Updated 07/22/2008).
