Saturday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
Streaking
Joe Blanton, Philadelphia Phillies (4-3, 2.96 ERA)
Blanton has won three of his last four trips to the mound and is coming off a win over Houston that saw him go seven innings, allowing just a solo homer while striking out seven. He walked only one after issuing three free passes to first in his start before that. Control normally isn’t much of a problem for him, with only seven walks on his resume this season.
Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers (3-1, 2.22 ERA)
After giving up five earned runs and three homers in a loss at Colorado earlier this month, Kershaw seems to be back on track. He has allowed only nine hits and two earned runs in 15 innings of work since then, striking out 13 batters. The lefty fired seven shutout innings in a 3-1 win over Arizona earlier this week, but wasn’t pleased about allowing three walks.
Slumping
Dan Haren, Los Angeles Angels (1-4, 4.41 ERA)
Haren has lost three straight starts and is having some control problems. He walked four batters and gave up four runs in six innings during a 5-0 loss to the A’s in his last outing. His velocity has been down all season and he has allowed a homer in each of his last three starts. Haren ranks last in the bigs having lost 10.24 units for his supporters this season.
John Danks, Chicago White Sox (2-4, 6.46 ERA)
Danks’ tough season got even worse the last time he toed the rubber. He lasted a season-low three innings, yielding five runs on nine hits while walking three in
a no-decision against Detroit. The veteran has only two strikeouts in his last three starts and has 26 punch-outs compared to 22 walks in 47 1/3 innings this year.
