Wednesday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
Streaking
Max Scherzer, Detroit Tigers (5-3, 5.55 ERA)
Scherzer has been throwing fireballs over his last three starts. He has won each of those outings and the Tigers have won all five of his last turns in the rotation. In his last three, the St. Louis native has struck out 30 batters while walking just five. The only downside to his streak is that he’s allowed at least one homer in seven consecutive outings.
Felipe Paulino, Kansas City Royals (3-1, 1.70 ERA)
Paulino has quickly become the Royals’ ace after pitching shutouts in four of his six starts this season. The big righty held the Athletics off the board for six innings last week, striking out five and walking three. With a fastball that averages in the mid-90s, he’s always been a big punch-out pitcher, but now he’s keeping the ball down and limiting his walks.
Slumping
Wei-Yen Chen, Baltimore Orioles (4-2, 3.75 ERA)
Chen allowed five earned runs in the first inning last week before settling down a bit to pitch 5 1/3 innings. He also struggled with his control, walking five batters. The Orioles have lost each of his last five trips to the mound and the lefty is working on a fat 7.31 ERA over that span.
Bud Norris, Houston Astros (5-2, 4.52 ERA)
Norris was one of the most profitable pitchers on MLB’s money list standing up until his last two starts. He was smoked for seven hits and nine earned runs in just 1 2/3 innings during last week’s loss in Colorado. The allowed three runs on eight hits over 4 2/3 innings in another loss before that and is reportedly dealing with a hip flexor problem that could have something to do with his slump.
