Guthrie struggled against Minnesota on Thursday, surrendering five runs and nine hits in six innings. He needed 103 pitches, striking out five. Guthrie gave up a couple of runs in the first inning, and never really got into a groove. He has been extremely up-and-down in his last seven outings, mixing in great starts with clunkers. In his next turn, he'll square off against a Texas team that he dominated over eight innings on August 23.
