Twins SP Boof Bonser allowed five runs and six hits in six innings during a 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays Wednesday.

Minnesota would tie the game at 4, but Brad Wilkerson's RBI single in the fourth would put Toronto in the lead for good. Bonser walked three and struck out three and is winless in three starts (0-1).

Fantasy Analysis
Bonser has now been tagged for 21 hits and 16 earned runs in his last three starts spanning 16 innings (9.00 ERA). Not exactly a stat line Fantasy owners can afford to live with. Bonser is proving to be just an average arm and that makes him more of an AL-only Fantasy SP. His next scheduled start is for Monday against the Rangers. He is on track to be a two-start pitcher Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25) with his second start coming against the Tigers. He has a 7.50 ERA in his lone start against Detroit this season.
