Sabathia (5-8) took the decision in a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday, pitching four innings and giving up two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Sabathia was able to keep the Dodgers off the board except for a two-run homer by Justin Turner in the third inning, but he still has not not completed five innings since July 16. The left-hander avoided major damage though, and he helped his cause by striking out seven of the 18 batters he faced. Sabathia will take a 4.99 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 94:34 K:BB into his next start Friday at home against Oakland.
