He allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings, walking two and striking out four. He also suffered the loss, falling to 2-3. (Updated 05/06/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Bonderman entered the game with a WHIP of 1.60, but he actually lowered it with his performance Monday. He walks too many batters, and his strikeouts aren't anywhere close to where they used to be, giving his Fantasy owners plenty of reason to wonder if his elbow injury from last year is still affecting him. Think of him as a back-of-the-rotation Fantasy SP in mixed leagues until he regains his form. His next start -- and second of Fantasy Week 6 -- is scheduled for Saturday against the Yankees.
