Monday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
Streaking
Brandon Morrow, Toronto Blue Jays (4-1, 2.27 ERA)
Morrow has some nasty stuff going on right now. He has won four straight starts and owns a 0.95 ERA over that span. He threw 23 2/3 innings of scoreless ball at one point over that stretch and struck out a season-high 10 batters in his win over the Athletics last week.
Jason Vargas, Seattle Mariners (4-2, 2.79 ERA)
Vargas is staking claim to the No.2 spot in the rotation behind King Felix. In eight starts, he has struck out 38 batters and boasts a 0.97 WHIP. He held the Tigers to one run on six hits in his last outing and didn’t walk a batter in a 2-1 victory. He threw 90 pitches and wanted to come out to finish off the game, but manager Eric Wedge decided to give the ball to closer Brandon League.
Slumping
Tyson Ross, Oakland Athletics (1-3, 7.71 ERA)
After allowing 16 runs over 7 1/3 innings in consecutive starts, Ross settled down a bit in his last trip to the hill, but still picked up another loss. He gave up three runs over 5 2/3 innings, walking three and striking out three in a 5-2 defeat to the Blue Jays. Ross is still on a tight leash as there was talk they he’d be demoted recently.
Homer Bailey, Cincinnati Reds (1-3, 4.93 ERA)
Bailey was spanked for six hits and six earned runs in just 3 2/3 innings last week against Milwaukee. His velocity was fine (hitting the mid-90s consistently) but he struggled with location and ended up walking three batters. In his start before that, he served up three homers in a loss to the Cubs, which was the second time he’s allowed three dingers in a game this season.
