Joe Saunders was whipped for four runs on 10 hits and three walks over six innings in Tuesday's no-decision opposite the A's. From the very outset of the game, Saunders wasn't fooling Oakland batters. In the first inning, he walked a pair and gave up two singles, a triple and two homers, accounting for four runs total. The left-hander remains 10-12 to go with a 4.91 ERA. After allowing five earned runs apiece in his last two July starts, Saunders has gone 1-2 with a 6.53 ERA over four August outings. AL-only owners should have Saunders inactive, if at all possible.
