The Oakland Athletics have given Jharel Cotton plenty of time this season to work on some of his inefficiencies. Cotton has provided a few flashes of brilliance this year, but has struggled overall to stay consistent on the mound.
In his last start on Monday night, Cotton logged six innings of work against the Royals. He allowed six runs, 8 hits and walked three in the start. Cotton was relatively steady for much of night until he fell a part in the sixth inning.
In three starts this month, Cotton has gone 0-2 with a 7.94 ERA.
