He surrendered seven runs on four hits (three of them home runs) and three walks over just three innings in a 13-4 loss.

Our View: Hochevar fanned 22 batter in 13 innings in July and then pitched a three-hit shutout on September 18th, so he surely has some ability. Unfortunately, most of his outings have been more like Sunday's effort.

While Hochevar's 5.98 ERA and tendency to get shelled should give owners pause, Hochevar has been dazzling on occasion -- most recently in a three-hit complete game shutout against the White Sox on Sept. 23 -- and is an interesting draft-day flier in 2010. He'll make his next 2009 start on Sept. 28, at Yankee Stadium. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Luke_Hochevar/544998 544998 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 0:32:32 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Luke_Hochevar/544998 Hochevar blasted by Red Sox News: Royals SP Luke Hochevar did not pitch well on Wednesday in a loss to the Boston Red Sox.
