Wednesday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
STREAKING
Lance Lynn, St. Louis Cardinals 3-0, 1.42 ERA
The converted reliever has allowed one run in each of his three starts, piling up 17 strikeouts against four walks. He ranks fifth in the NL with a 0.74 WHIP. Even when Chris Carpenter returns, Lynn's spot in the rotation is secure. He tries to beat the Cubs for a second time Wednesday.
Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners 1-1, 2.76 ERA
The 26-year-old right-hander is showing his Cy Young form, ranking among MLB’s leaders with 31 strikeouts. He dominated the Indians last time out, tossing eight shutout innings and fanning 12. Hernandez, who was still throwing 93 mph in his last inning, deserved a win but the bullpen blew it in the ninth.
SLUMPING
Clay Buchholz, Boston Red Sox 1-1, 9.00 ERA
The Yanks lit up the 27-year-old right-hander for five homers in his last outing, and Buchholz has given up at least five earned runs in each of his three starts. The league is hitting .324 against him. In his only previous start against Minnesota, the Twins pounded him for seven earned runs in 4 1/3 innings.
R.A. Dickey, New York Mets 2-1, 5.71 ERA
The wheels fell off for the 37-year-old knuckleballer last time out, as the Braves pounded him for eight hits and eight earned runs in 4 1/3 innings. Dickey has yielded five homers in three starts, and opponents are batting .324 against him. Miami 2B Omar Infante is 11 for 22 (.500) against Dickey in his career.

Washington - San Diego Preview

Washington at San Diego
The Nationals are off to their best start since moving from Montreal. Yesterday's 3-1 victory in San Diego moves the mark to an N.L. East best 13-4 (+$828) including 5-2 (+$282)on the road. Pitching is the story, the Nats' starting pitcher's own a combined 2.21 ERA tops in the Majors. Tonight they send Jordan Zimmermann (0-1, 1.29 ERA, 2-1 TSR) to the mound. The right-hander may be the only National starter that is winless but with a pristine 1.29 ERA in three starts allowing just 13 hits, 4 runs over 21.0 innings of work while striking out 10 expect the hurler to pick up a much deserved victory over faltering, light-hitting Padres (5-13, -$783) countering with rookie Joe Wieland winless in his two trips to the mound (0-2, 5.73 ERA). Stick with Washington knowing the Nationals are on a 6-1 streak with Zimmermann following a seven or better inning performance the previous start, 8-2 stretch with the hurler after he allowed two or less runs the previous game and that Nats are on a profitable 12-3 road streak swinging at a right-handed starter.
