McCarthy lost for the third time in four starts Tuesday, giving up five earned runs on nine hits while striking out five and walking two in 6.1 innings against the Tigers. The five earned runs were the most he's allowed as a Yankee since coming over from Arizona on July 6. Still, McCarthy has lasted six innings or more in all but one of his nine starts with New York while posting a 9:56 BB:K in that span, making him quite a valuable arm for the boys in pinstripes and a potentially sneaky acquisition in many fantasy formats.
