Wednesday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
Streaking
Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals (8-1, 2.45 ERA)
Strasburg has won five consecutive starts and allowed more than two runs in just one of those. He has struck out 100 batters in 77 innings and has a 1.04 WHIP this year. He was pulled after six innings in his last start due to a cut on his right middle finger but should be fine to throw against Tampa Bay.
Ryan Vogelsong, San Francisco Giants (6-2, 2.29 ERA)
The Giants have won each of Vogelsong’s last eight trips to the mound and he hasn’t allowed more than three runs in an outing since the end of April. Vogelsong threw seven innings for his fourth straight start last week, allowing two earned runs on four hits while striking out six in a 4-2 win over Seattle. Vogelsong sits eighth in the MLB starter money standings, having earned 6.83 units.
Slumping
Anthony Bass, San Diego Padres (2-7, 4.48 ERA)
The Padres have lost four of Bass’ last five starts and the Michigan native was hit hard again last week by Oakland. He gave up nine runs (seven earned) on eight hits while walking three in that one and has allowed at least four earned runs in five consecutive trips to the hill. He hasn’t thrown 100 pitches in a start since May 4.
Francisco Liriano, Minnesota Twins (1-7, 6.24 ERA)
We’re probably kicking Minnesota’s lefty when he’s down here, but it’s hard to pass by his bad fortune. He gave up just one hit in six innings against Milwaukee last week and still ended up taking his seventh loss of the season. That’s because the one hit was a three-run homer to Ryan Braun that lifted the Brewers to a 5-3 win. Liriano is still struggling with his control, having walked four batters in that loss and has cost 6.33 units for his supporters.
MLB: Streaks, Tips, Notes

Texas Rangers at San Diego Padres
San Diego isn't a great hitting team batting just .228 platting 3.3 runs/game and now they must face Rangers' right-hander Yu Darvish (8-4, 3.57 ERA). Rangers are tops in the league batting .281 crossing 5.3 runs/game and they get to swing away at Anthony Bass (2-7, 4.88 ERA) who has given up 28 runs his last five on the mound. This will be a long afternoon for San Diego. Stick with visiting Rangers as they move to 13-4 as an interleague favorite, Friars fall to 2-13 in interleague home games against a team with a winning record.
Tampa Bay Rays at Washington Nationals
Washington Nationals have hit a rough spot losing four straight including the opener of this three game set vs Rays. They'll right the ship Wednesday night with Strasburg taking the ball. The ace hurler has won five consecutive starts and he's been just what Nats need following a loss the previous night. Nationals are 12-3 handing the ball to Strasburg following a loss including 7-1 at home.
Chicago Cubs at Chicago White Sox
The Chicago Cubs taking the first two of this three game set against city rival White Sox have a chance to sweep their first series on the South Side since June of '2007. Helping the cause, White Sox are terrible when Gavin Floyd (4-7, 5.63 ERA) takes the mound for them. The right-hander's struggles continued Thursday against the Cardinals, allowing five runs on eight hits over 4 2/3 innings and has now lost two consecutive starts and 4 of his last 6 giving up 11 yard ball, 35 runs for a whopping 10.38 ERA over the span. Cubbies are worth a second look knowing North Siders are 4-0 vs South Siders when Floyd takes to the mound, Pale Hose are on a 4-10 June skid with the hurler including 1-6 at U.S Cellular Field. If that were not enough, Pale Hose are on a 7-20 slide in game 3 of a series with Floyd and on a 0-5 interleague skid with the righty.
